Processo de desenvolvimento de produto: o projeto de desenvolvimento e inovação do carrilho aplicador de argamassa universal

Abstract

Brazil has carried out government incentives for the civil construction sector, such as the Federal Government's Casa Verde e Amarela program. This action has helped to leverage the country's economy, making the sector one of the pillars of the economy, as well as a thermometer for economic performance. Even with the COVID-19 pandemic, the sector still showed growth, evidenced by the steel supplier industry, which has broken production records, even generating many jobs. From another perspective, both the civil construction sector and its suppliers have many opportunities for innovation. In this way, the objective of this work is to present the project of a manual tool for the construction sector. This tool increases the productivity of laying coatings and reduces the time of application of the product, bringing socioeconomic benefits. Through the steps of the Product Development Process (PDP) proposed in the methodology of Rozenfeld (et al., 2006), the development of this tool is presented.
