Traceability of Information to Identify Nonconformities in the Production Process: Preliminary Study Production Process Optimization Roberta FERRARI DE SÁ a , Osiris CANCI LIERI JUNIOR a , Anderson Luis SZEJKA a,1 and Lucy YOSHIDA b a Pontifical Catholic University of Parana, Curitiba, BR b NHS Eletronic Systems, Curitiba, BR Abstract. For a company to compete in today's market, it needs to invest in developing project management tools to help improve its materials, products and production processes, reducing costs and continually improving its activities. This article aims to present the preliminary study performed to implement a custom semantic model in a technology company, which will enable the analysis and diagnosis of the production model to check nonconformities and to track information and materials, aiming at improving its production process and thereby raising its level of competition in the market. The preliminary study corresponds to the first of two phases of project development, which consists of the study carried out in the company to identify improvement needs for implementation of the analysis and diagnosis tool in the production process. For this, a tool development model is being developed with the mapping and the proposal of the model with its implementation strategy. Thus, it was verified that there is a disconnected traceability between the company sectors, information lost at the end of each process step, which eventually increases the time spent in each process phase. To solve this problem, resources were selected that, when integrated, will allow the integration of resources that were not previously connected in the company, in addition to reducing the time spent to close the cycle: connect, collect, analyze and act, making the response of production process activities in real time, seeking the optimization of production. Keywords. Traceability, Production Process, Decision Making Introduction For a company to be competitive, it is necessary to invest in the development of modern project management tools, to improve materials, products and production process, while reducing costs and aiding the continuous improvement of activities. Even with the beginning of the digital revolution, industries have used few technologies for the production routine, leading to few success stories to certify available opportunities [1]. The use of smartphones, tablets and wearables is accelerating the use of mobile man- machine interface technologies, when these technologies are combined with accesss to data and information, they can make operators and teams more productive asa with the access to cloud technology makes it possible to share information more easily and quickly, through a web application [2]. This new context optimizes the control of the 1 Corresponding Author, Mail: anderson.szejka@pucpr.br G Transdisciplinary Engineering for Complex Socio-technical Systems – Real-life Applications J.
