Tecnologia da informação no processo de fabricação de alianças: estudo de caso

Abstract

A new era, characterized by an increasing penetrability of the computers in the institutions and consequent automation of the work process, has provided increased productivity, competitiveness, quality and economy of resources. As information technology is absorbed by the productive system, it transforms the way work is developed. In production, the execution of the task is transformed by the use of machines capable of automating and performing numerical control of the processes. The control and processing of data also becomes much easier and efficient. Currently, many managers still consider the deployment of information technology a high investment and sometimes infeasible for small businesses. Therefore, the present study seeks to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of the insertion of small companies in the digital era. Initially, a bibliographic review was carried out, addressing the role of technology as a way to improve productive processes and develop the competitiveness of small organizations, as well as the challenges to be overcome by them to facilitate the deployment of such technologies. Subsequently, a case study was carried out at a goldsmith’s company, whose production process was primarily handmade, suggesting the implementation of AutoCad software in the production of alliances.
