Barras de Diamante Sintético: Atendendo as Futuras Necessidades na Indústria

This article aims to conduct a study on the benefits of replacing natural Diamonds by synthetic diamond rods in the production of dressers. This research seeks to introduce a new material in the construction of dressers, identifying through the QFD methodology (Quality Function Deployment) what are their main advantages in its use. The purpose of using QFD for this study is that the method can be defined as a systematic process that helps to identify the characteristics that a product must have to satisfy the customer. QFD can translate customer requirements by determining the functions, processes and raw materials of a product for the company to establish technical development goals for improved product performance. The composition of the service data and the application of QFD method for product development and the results show that the introduction of synthetic diamond bars can satisfy the basic and specific needs of industry in the dressing operation of wheels.
