Proposta de avaliação de risco no processo de design de produtos

Abstract

The present work intends to explore the conceptualization of the term Design in the sense of understanding it as an object or systems design development methodology that allows, on the one hand, the serial production and, on the other, the repeatability of the project with the deviations or problems reduction, during its design, production or use. It addresses the gradual change in design methodologies from the middle of the last century to the present, considering the initial "inside out" approach (having the Designer alone following standardized methodologies to obtain the ideal design) for another "from the outside to inside" (having a multidisciplinary team receiving requests from the Designer who identified those with the target audience). It considers, in this sense, the absence - among the stages of the different project development methodologies - of a specific focused object or system safety analysis helping the user to have a successful experience and free from any incident or accident and thus collaborating to generate the intention to acquire (an indisputable success indicator to what was designed and produced). Finally, it proposes a risk analysis methodology to be applied during project development and demonstrates the advantages of its use in the design phase to reduce problems - particularly those that could compromise the user's physical integrity - during the use of the object / system reducing the costs associated with project corrections or changes in the test phase or even after sale.
