• Abstract:

  In search of technological innovation, it makes industry sectors to review with some constancy, its internal manufacturing processes, in order to optimize the manufacturing time and the direct or indirect costs of its activity. Over time, the mechanical industry has shown itself in a significant and highly relevant way for the development of the economy. The industrial boiler in Brazil is closely linked to the demand for large projects, making the need to project and manufacture equipment in the country. This way, research for innovative practices and tools that, when applied correctly, promote significant changes in projects.
