About this Presentation
Embraer S.A. designs, develops, manufactures, sells and provides after-sales support to aircraft and systems for the commercial and executive aviation, and defense and security industrial segments. One major milestone within the development process is the manufacturing of a prototype, which allows the start of tests and certification campaign. Considering the customers' potential needs and the market dynamics, any delay in the project can represent substantial costs and directly affect the competitiveness of the product. Due to several aspects, the final assembly of a prototype is a challenging environment for project management, where many times it can result in delays on prototype availability. Hence, it is mandatory to improve project management methodologies during this project phase. The goal of this study is to discuss the employment of theory of constraints concepts, more specifically critical chain concepts, on the final assembly of a newly developed aircraft prototype.
