Abstract:
This work presents an application of a method for assessing the operational risks associated to the development of new products, aiming to address the uncertainties of technical and managerial risks. The method has been developed using the Design Research approach, which enabled the development of a set of artifacts linked through six steps, where the main artifact is a Bayesian Network model. The performance evaluation of the application was carried out by a tentative application in a new product being developed at a design center of a global company, where the main focus was to assess the risks associated with reliability failures. This research, besides contributing with a proposal of an application to support the new product risk management, indicates potential enhancements to the decision making process, and to the knowledge management in project environments.
