Abstract

Project management is an area that has been increasingly valued in the job market, as many companies seek to innovate in their products and/or services in order to achieve competitive advantage, adopting project management methodologies to introduce new models. Unfortunately, many organizations do not have the project sector within their organizational structure and do not have experienced professionals in this sector to manage their projects. Because of this, many of those in charge of these types of projects are employees who do not have solid knowledge in project management, often leading to unsuccessful ventures. In this sense, the present work aims to analyze the implementation project of the Neck 48mm plastic handle, carried out by a medium-sized company located in the Industrial District of Manaus, in which there is also no specific project management sector or professional that operates. fulltime in this role, with the manager and coordinator of the Engineering area as responsible for the management, on a part-time basis. With this reality, in order to reduce risks and increase the chances of success of the enterprise, those responsible for management decided to adopt some principles of project management, more precisely using the PMBOK guide as a basis. Bibliographic collections were collected together with internal documents of the organization to identify the management areas described in the PMBOK used by managers to carry out the project and also, in the end, pointed out flaws committed and suggestions for improvements for future projects within the company. With the analysis, it was reported that the main learning of the project was in relation to scope management, since the handle was not in accordance with the customers' expectations, with problems in applying them to plastic bottles. This situation led to an increase in the cost of the project and a delay in the delivery of the final product. Along with this, as suggestions for improvements, a checklist was prepared in order to improve the monitoring of future projects carried out by the institution. It was also suggested the adoption of the risk management area in future projects, adhering to the FMEA tool, in order to help prevent possible failures.
