Proposta para produção de inovações no contexto dos TCC’S do Curso de Design da UFAM

Abstract

Society expect that research from public universities contribute with the economic development from the country. It is possible to ampliated the quantity of the register of Intellectual Property (IP) and of Technology Transfer (TT) in the universities of the country, based on the technical-scientific body and the researches focus to produce innovative results with added value to the clients. The course of Design from Universidade Federal do Amazonas (UFAM) was chosen because of it profile attached to innovation, because it develops innovative researches and has courses that approach the theme of IP, Innovation and product management. The main objective is to analyze the current flow of the development of undergraduate thesis from Design Department to elaborate a propose, and an action plan that implement a new flow that add value to this process to potentiate the production of innovations. The methodology used was descriptive, it was a qualitative research, the means was bibliographic, documental, and it used the case study method. The study objects were the content of undergraduate thesis, that were analyzed according to current IP legislation classifying according to its register potential. In the previous analysis we obtained a sample of 20 (76.92% of monographs available) monographs with the potential of registration in intellectual property, out of a total of 26 available from the years 2015 and 2016. The research analyzed and develop, using the Value Stream Mapping a map of the current state of the construction process of undergraduate thesis. This map was validated by Design course coordinator which contributed with recommendations of necessary adjustments. It was identified some wastes and problems of current flow, and as result of the research there is presented a propose of action plan 5W1H to overcome these problems. The main enhancements of the future flow will be the evaluation of the results and its potential to become PI e TT before, during and after the conclusion of the undergraduate thesis, greater use of the research results and a better interaction between the Design course and the potentials clients.
