Innovation Model

This article aims to propose a new model of technological innovations, as well as using it in a case study in the automotive industry. After an analysis of the main scientific databases, it was verified that the present work is unprecedented in presenting a unified model of identification and management of technological innovations. In methodological terms, the bibliometric and systemic analyzes were performed in order to identify the main technological innovations inherent in the automotive industry. In terms of research results, a cohesive innovation model was obtained, which, once based on the concepts of sensitive innovation and latent innovation, allows the identification and the consequent valuation of the economic potential of the main technological innovations in the area desired by the manager who will apply it. As an example, the model was applied specifically in the automotive sector, but its methodology can be generalized to any area of industrial production.

Initial Results

Open innovation has gained popularity in recent years. But is the concept new or does it express old realities? The literature review of this case study found that the term “open innovation” is recent and that its development has been facilitated by technological innovations. The case study collected data over a period of eight months from an agrifood SME in Quebec, Canada. The aim was to go beyond the basic model of open innovation and integrate dynamic, absorptive and appropriative capacities into a new working open innovation model. Initial results show that components associated with the basic open innovation model such as intellectual property, joint R&D and co-product development are present as well as certain organizational capacities. The difficulty of applying the concept is due to its interactions rather than its components taken individually. The study concludes that further work is needed to extend the applicability and the foundations of open innovation.

Additive Manufacturing Technology

Additive manufacturing (AM) emerged from rapid prototyping to relinquish sustainable industrial production. The role of AM in the industrial field is to diminish manufacturing pace, functioning cost, and assembling the AM lightweight particles together, which enhances the malleable fabrication of personalized user defined components without symbolic concussion. The automotive manufacturing industry plays a chief role in the aggressive trade field where time to market declines. The engraving design structures with weight reduction materials are the demands faced by the automotive industry that can be ominously resolved by additive manufacturing technology. This research work provides a better understanding of AM technology and its role in automotive sector to enhance modern vehicle designs and enduring features and augments the knowledge of both researchers and industrialists to overcome the efficacy in manufacturing process by fabricating relatively high strength geometries with reduced weight.

Industry Needs

The automotive industry’s supply chain has been extensively researched but has tended to focus on the component production sections of the chain. Indeed, the automotive industry needs a structured model that encompasses the entire fragmented, uncertain and complicated industry. For this reason, the SCOR® model was chosen in this study because it contains well-defined and standardized processes and metrics for performance measurement and comparative analysis of the entire supply chain and not only internal processes. In this context, the objective of this paper is to concretize the application of the SCOR® model in an automotive company by following the steps and guidelines described by the supply chain council that designed this model. Then, several contributions and benefits of the application of this model in the automotive sector will be raised based on this case study and especially on the interviews conducted with the various practitioners and specialists in the supply chain. On the other hand, a list of limitations and difficulties encountered during and after the implementation of this standard will also be collected. Although this study is primarily oriented towards a university audience, it can also be interesting and useful for practitioners, who will be able to gain an understanding of the purpose of the existing research and to have access to a real-life example of the application of this model in the automotive sector.

This study is related to a case study using a prioritization tool derived from the gravity, urgency and tendency (GUT) matrix, applied to a machining line in the automotive sector of a factory located in Vale do Paraíba - São Paulo (SP). This monograph addressed the implementation of a prioritization tool to aid in the definition of priorities to be work on with the aim of improving the indicators of quality of the group, reducing the rate of reworks and rejects. It is a qualitative exploratory study. The information was collected through documentary research. The information/data obtained were treated with data tabulation using spreadsheets developed in Excel Microsoft. It was found through the results that the rework index decreased 7.57% in the period from 2016 to 2019 and the reject index decreased by 3.74% in the same period. It was concluded that the objective of the general research was achieved through the validation of the priority analysis tool (derived from the GUT matrix) in a machining line as an efficient tool and which brought positive results in terms of reducing the rework and reject wastes of production.

Original Equipment Manufacturers

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in automotive industry are faced with the conflicting goals of creating vehicles with higher reliability, increased feature content and quality while lowering model runs, reducing costs, and shorter developmental times. However, to achieve these goals is very difficult in a global product development environment that involves globally distributed OEMs and suppliers working on the components and subsystems of the same but a complex product like an automobile. This is especially true with regard to electronic systems in automotive industry due to the continued and significant increase in overall electrical content in a vehicle, and the historical short lifecycle of enabling technologies. For example, in the last three decades, electrical/electronics control has gone from 100% analog to primarily digital microprocessor based controls (Paras et al., 2004). As the level of integration occurs, automotive electronics are going to be challenged by software development and integration. As a result, it is going to increase overall product development time and cost. While it has been a growing concern for both academician and practitioners, the prior literature is still very limited in terms providing a clear or sufficiently structured framework to address the issues of global product development system. This chapter attempts to narrow down this gap by presenting a lean and global product development (GPD) framework and the necessary enablers to achieve this end. The framework is demonstrated through an automotive industry case study.
