Modelagem de processos de desenvolvimento em ambiente de engenharia simultânea: implementações com as tecnologias Workflow e BSCW

Abstract

This work is focus on adaptation of technologies for aid the Research and Development administration projects in the Concurrent Engineering context. Specifically, the technologies Workflow and BSCW (Basic Support for Cooperative Work) are studied. It’s presented the identification, modellement and implementation of a Workflow for printed circuit board design, as well as the conclusions on the structuring process and use of BSCW for aid in project management. The rising of data in the study group used a qualitative approach. As results, this work presents a comparative picture of the two technologies, the description of an interactive approach that allowed the presentation of needs for R&D administration and, finally, the definition of group sharpeners for adaptation of the technologies studied in the context of Concurrent Engineering.
