RISK ANALYSIS IN PRODUCTION ENGINEERING PROJECTS: METHODOLOGIES AND TOOLS

Abstract

Production engineering projects can be subject to various risks, which can have a direct impact on the expected results. It is therefore extremely important to use appropriate methodologies and tools for risk analysis in order to minimise damage and guarantee the success of the project. The aim of this article is to present a literature review on the methodologies and tools used to analyse risks in production engineering projects. To this end, books, scientific articles and ABNT standards were consulted, seeking a broad view of the subject. The results obtained show that risk analysis is an essential stage in the planning of production engineering projects, as it makes it possible to identify, assess and manage possible threats and opportunities. The main methodologies include FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and PMI (Project Management Institute), which help to identify and assess risks throughout the project life cycle. In addition, there are various tools that can be used in conjunction with these methodologies, such as SWOT analysis, cause and effect diagrams, among others. Based on this study, it can be concluded that analysing risks in production engineering projects is a complex and multidisciplinary process, which requires good theoretical and practical knowledge for its proper application. Furthermore, it is essential that there is a culture of risk management in companies, so that project management is carried out efficiently and effectively, minimising impacts and maximising results.
