Resumo: | Nowadays, markets are characterized by their dynamic and ever-changing requests, creating big challenges for manufacturers. With the emergence of industry 4.0, industrial processes have been suffering significant changes by implementing modern information technologies. Industry 4.0 comprises the digitization and smartization of the entire value chain of a manufacturing company by introducing echnologies such as cyber-physical systems or internet of things. The Portuguese footwear industry presents a large variety of different models’ requests, which requires flexible advanced production systems. The present investigation takes this premise into account and focuses in pursuing how the implementation of industry’s 4.0 technologies affects the Portuguese footwear manufacturers along the value chain, creating opportunities to innovate client experience, smart production and employees’ qualifications. With the main purpose of creating foundations for the research, an extensive literature review was conducted. Afterwards, a qualitative and exploratory investigation was performed based on interviews to collect insights of three industry experts and ten footwear companies’ representatives. It was possible to notice that companies, in general, are investing in the implementation of new technologies in different departments in order to become more competitive and productive. However, there are some constraints regarding the rigidity of some technologies and the attraction of new workers to the footwear sector. |

Com o surgimento da indústria 4.0, os processos industriais têm vindo a sofrer mudanças significativas ao adotar tecnologias de informação modernas. A indústria 4.0 compreende a digitalização da cadeia de valor de uma empresa de manufatura, adotando tecnologias como sistemas ciber-físicos ou a internet das coisas. A indústria portuguesa do calçado apresenta uma grande variedade de procura de modelos, o que requer sistemas de produção avançados e flexíveis. A presente investigação tem em consideração esta premissa e centra-se em investigar de que forma é que a implementação das tecnologias 4.0 da indústria afeta os fabricantes portugueses de calçado ao longo da cadeia de valor, criando oportunidades de inovação na experiência do cliente, produção inteligente e qualificação dos colaboradores. De forma a criar bases para esta investigação, foi realizada uma extensa revisão da literatura. Posteriormente, foi realizada uma investigação qualitativa e exploratória com base em entrevistas de três especialistas do setor e dez representantes de empresas de calçado. Foi possível perceber que as empresas, de forma geral, estão a investir na implementação de novas tecnologias em diferentes departamentos para se tornarem mais competitivas e produtivas. No entanto, existem alguns constrangimentos relativamente à rigidez de algumas tecnologias e à atração de novos trabalhadores para o setor do calçado.Julião, Jorge Manuel SoaresGaspar, MarceloVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaPires, Ana Rita Ferreira Pires2021-09-13T14:47:39Z2021-07-132021-052021-07-13T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/34787TID:202748960enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:40:18Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/34787Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:28:12.601037Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
