| dc.description.abstract | The constant requirement for productivity has been one of the ways used by the auto parts industry to face the competition and the dynamics imposed on the needs of automotive customers. Lean Manufacturing and more recently practices developed by Hyundai Motor Company are some of the methodologies and guidelines adhered to by organizations to thrive in the current market characterized by a highly competitive environment. In line with this need for continuous improvement, the fourth industrial revolution, called Industry 4.0, seeks to build a smarter factory by leveraging advanced information, communication, and forwardlooking technologies. In this context, the purpose of this thesis is to propose a method for implementing a production system for the Auto Parts Industry with elements of Industry 4.0 to help companies to move towards Industry 4.0 to obtain improvements in their production process. The research methodology adopted is of an applied nature, with a quantitative approach, using Design Science Research, since it is a sensible method for the design of artifacts that solve problems, allowing the evaluation of what was designed, as well as communicating the results obtained, taking into account the current internal and external environment of the factory studied. The developed method was applied in a family of products of the company Bruning Tecnometal, an organization belonging to the disruption chain of the Brazilian automotive industry. The proposed method showed that benefits depend on the reduction of the time of crossing, reduction of inventories to increase of production, besides the viability of new business models. The financial value of technologies that characterize Industry 4.0 is being reduced continuously, due to the advancement of technology, giving organizations greater competitiveness. The application of lean manufacturing principles by several companies around the world makes them all reach a certain level of competitiveness. Therefore, it does not bring more competitive advantage among those who adopt it. Improving this model was an alternative, investing efforts in the development of the Production System itself, called the XPS. The importance of the system in line with modern industrial advances, through the fourth industrial revolution and the opportunities for gains of this new production system, reinforces that LeanManufacturing and Industry 4.0 are still little explored in the corporate environment, as a whole. Individual surveys were carried out on technologies allied to Industry 4.0, but the joint application with Lean Manufacturing and practices developed by Hyundai Motor Company were not found in the bibliographic survey carried out. | en |
