Abstract(s)
A área de gestão de projetos tem vindo a evoluir nas últimas
décadas. Essa evolução permitiu a definição da profissão através
do desenvolvimento de processos, técnicas e valores que
encaminharam a profissão para a sua padronização. Hoje, a
profissão é transversal a vários sectores de atividade como é o
caso, em Portugal, do sector da indústria automóvel.
As pressões competitivas do sector automóvel e a urgência de
reduzir custos levaram os construtores desse sector a
estabelecer novas formas de relacionamento com os fornecedores
de componentes - Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
Embora lhe seja atribuída pouca autoridade formal, o gestor de
projetos tem um papel preponderante. Assegura a comunicação
entre a sua organização e os clientes e coordena uma equipa
multidisciplinar durante a fase de desenvolvimento dos projetos.
Este estudo foi realizado com o intuito de caracterizar qual o
perfil, a nível académico e profissional, dos gestores de
projetos que desempenham funções na indústria automóvel em
Portugal. Como metodologia de investigação foram usadas duas
abordagens distintas, mas complementares. Numa primeira fase,
foi usada uma abordagem quantitativa, através da realização de
um questionário online a gestores de projetos da indústria
automóvel. Numa segunda fase, através de uma abordagem
qualitativa, foram realizadas 3 entrevistas a profissionais que
exercem funções enquanto gestores de projetos.
Foi revisto o estado da arte do sector industrial automóvel e
da gestão de projetos como base teórica para a investigação.
Finalmente, foi traçado o perfil típico do gestor de projectos
da indústria automóvel em Portugal, avaliado o grau de sucesso
dos gestores de projetos, e elaboradas recomendações para uma
gestão de projetos com maior taxa de sucesso.
Project management field has been evolving in recent decades. This evolution allowed the definition of the profession through the development of processes, techniques and values that guided the profession to its standardization. Today, the profession is transversal to several sectors of activity, as it is the case in Portugal, in the automotive industry. The competitive pressures of the automotive sector and the urgency to reduce costs have prompted manufacturers to establish new forms of relationships with suppliers - Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Although it is given little formal authority, the project manager plays a leading role. It ensures communication between is organization and clients and coordinates a multidisciplinary team during the development phase of the projects. This study was carried out with the purpose of characterizing the profile, at the academic and professional level, of project managers who perform functions in the automotive industry in Portugal. As a research methodology two distinct but complementary approaches were used. In the first phase, a quantitative approach was used, by conducting an online questionnaire for project managers in the automotive industry. In a second phase, through a qualitative approach, 3 interviews were carried out with project managers. The state of the art on automotive industry and project management was revised as a theoretical basis for research. Finally, a typical profile of the project manager of the automotive industry in Portugal was drawn up, the success of project managers was evaluated, and recommendations were made to attain a higher rate of success in project management.
