Resumo:
This present work is about the importance of the project and development of
products in high technology industries and the increasing need to reduce the lead time in
the cycle of this project.
Teorically, to be competitive, the new product must have high quality, low lead
time of development and production and minimum complexity.
The development of this dissertation establishes a theory base about the product
development process in helicopter industries: Simultaneous Engineering and team
formation.
Later, a method of formation and development of teams is proposed, as a means to
implant Simultaneous Engineering.
The evaluation of this method is carried out at Helibras (Helicópteros do Brasil
S.A.), in an initial project with efficient results.
