Abstract

Este estudo tem como objetivo desenvolver uma estrutura de gerenciamento de tecnologia para apoiar a adoção de tecnologia de fabricação aditiva (AMT) em pequenas e médias empresas (PMEs) nas Filipinas. Os dados foram coletados por meio de revisão da literatura, pesquisas e entrevistas com especialistas em AMT e analisados ​​usando estatística descritiva, testes t, análise não paramétrica, a técnica Delphi e o coeficiente de concordância de Kendall. As descobertas mostram que as partes interessadas geralmente estão cientes, prontas e dispostas a adotar a AMT, reconhecendo seus benefícios em melhorar a eficiência da produção e a facilidade de operação. Embora a viabilidade técnica e econômica tenha sido classificada alta, a viabilidade operacional foi percebida como baixa devido aos altos custos de equipamentos e desafios de integração. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas na conscientização, disposição e prontidão entre os grupos das partes interessadas, embora as percepções da viabilidade técnica variem por posição, educação e tipo de negócios. Os principais desafios incluem limitações financeiras, capacidade técnica, suporte de políticas e infraestrutura. O estudo conclui que a adoção da AMT é viável para as PME, desde que as ações de gestão estratégica e o apoio do governo estejam em vigor para abordar as barreiras existentes e garantir a sustentabilidade.
