Abstract

This paper sought to identify the themes of Operations Management that are currently valued by automotive manufacturers in the creation, use and dissemination of new production concepts. For such, it conducted a content analysis of documents that drive the production systems adopted by the four major manufacturers, with plants in the city of Curitiba. Six themes were seen to stand out: quality management; lean production system; human resource management in operations; production and process management; design, measurement and improvement of work; and measurement of performance and productivity.
