Proposal of a new framework for project management in a logistics department of an automotive company, applying Lean Thinking principles
| Resumo: | The current master thesis was developed at Bosch Portugal Car Multimedia S.A., in Braga, with the main goal of proposing a new framework for project management in a logistics department, using Lean Thinking principles. In complex and dynamic business environments, it is important to become more effective and have more flexibility to changes. For that reason, organizations must adopt a project-based management to be increasingly competitive. This research was developed in a logistics department, which main work is sustained by innovation projects applied to the logistics. In order to maximize the project’s success, this research was carried out, whose output is a framework for the management of projects adapted to the operations of the department. To support this research the author also carried out a systematic literature review. In parallel, the author was integrated in the work environment, adopting an action research methodology to develop the framework and to eliminate the current waste associated to project management. Firstly, the diagnosing phase was performed. At this phase the current framework was analyzed and a round of semi-structured interviews with the project managers were carried out, to identify the problems. The list of identified problems was divided into several groups, but it was possible to highlight the time scheduling problem, the lack of information share between stakeholders and the inexistence of a proper deployment phase. Then, on the action planning phase, the new framework and some auxiliary documents used as standards were proposed to solve the problems identified. The final step was the implementation of the proposal, which is a cycle procedure with several improvements during the implementation. The final framework brought new activities and it is capable to adapt to the context of each specific project, minimizing waste and eliminating the problems that were identified earlier. The main results obtained were mostly related to the applicability of a new framework adapted to the department characteristics, which solved about 83% of the identified problems. |
