Classificação e análise da literatura sobre modularidade: perspectivas futuras para pesquisa

Flávio Issao Kubota, Lucila Maria de Souza Campos, Paulo Augusto Cauchick Miguel

Resumo

O desenvolvimento de novos produtos tornou-se um esforço conjunto de diversas organizações. Demandas variadas por parte dos clientes, pressão por reduzir o tempo de desenvolvimento de produtos e minimização de custos são alguns dos desafios recentes que as empresas de manufatura e serviços têm enfrentado. Nesse contexto, observa-se que a modularidade tem sido considerada nas estratégias de negócios das companhias, visando superar esses desafios. Assim, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a literatura acerca do tema modularidade, com a finalidade de descrever os principais benefícios e dificuldades/barreiras da estratégia modular, bem como apontar tópicos emergentes e perspectivas futuras de pesquisa no tema. Para a consecução do estudo, realizou-se uma pesquisa teórico-conceitual, identificando a bibliografia relevante e assim, construindo (selecionando) um portfólio bibliográfico no tema para identificar, principalmente, novas oportunidades de pesquisa para desenvolver estudos futuros. Observou-se que os benefícios mais destacados são as economias de escala e redução de lead-time e as dificuldades são o aumento da dependência dos fornecedores quanto aos conhecimentos tecnológicos (especialmente no setor automotivo) e a mudança da cadeia de suprimentos tradicional para a modular. Como tópicos emergentes, destacam-se a modularidade aplicada ao setor de serviços e o estudo das relações entre diversos (três ou mais) tipos de modularidade.
