Implantação de soluções digitais utilizando a Microsoft Power Platform no processo de desenvolvimento do produto (PDP): um estudo de caso na área de engenharia do produto

Abstract

This study aims to develop and implement an integrated digital solution using Microsoft Power Platform to optimize the process of creating and managing truck assembly manuals in an automotive manufacturing company. The research is classified as applied, as it seeks to solve a real-world problem within the corporate environment, and exploratory, as it investigates in depth the operational limitations faced by the engineering department. A case study methodology was adopted to allow for a detailed analysis of a specific context and the development of a customized solution. The tools Power Apps, Power BI, and Power Automate were used, integrated with SharePoint, to create an application that enables dynamic consultation of optional codes, technical data analysis, and automated alert notifications. Data collection included both qualitative methods (interviews and direct observation) and quantitative methods (records of rework and response times). The results showed significant improvements in operational efficiency, inter-departmental communication, and rework reduction. It is concluded that the proposed solution meets the objectives of the study, delivering measurable gains in productivity and quality without requiring additional investments, as it leverages the existing Office 365 infrastructure.
