Resumo:
This work was born in function to the automobile industry and its particularities
characteristics, where because its force done on the market, this influences the utilization by other
segments of methods and concepts developed by it.
Among the characteristics, the products development process is highlithed, on which the
samples and prototypes supply is considered a competitive differential. We have tried to acquire
on this work to identify the influence of the activities of engineering, manufacturing, logistics and
information system on a competitive system of samples and prototypes supply for the world
automobile industry. We have used the study of the case in an auto-parts industry which acts on a
globalized market, and because of this strategy adoptions, it has recently done a reorganization to
the samples and prototypes supplying system to an crease the competitiveness level on the
requirement “ on time delivery”.
Our analysis has identified a strong influence on the researched knowledge areas in
function of the research protocol as well as by its actions which have been important for the
improvement of the enterprise performance being studied, where the level annual average of
attendance on due time was 8,5% and it has surpassed above 85%.
