Product development process in the packing sector: an incremental innovation proposal focusing on the greater practicality in the use of tin foil use

Abstract

This paper aimed to present a development proposal for packaging for tin foil with a mobile cutting mechanism and user protection. Based on the simulation of a market research, a gap was shown, represented by consumers of tin foil dissatisfied with the results of this product cutting. Faced with this, several cases are observed in which there are difficulties associated with cutting the paper, where the consumer has to use scissors or other instruments, and thus a waste of paper occurs. Therefore, tools and decision-making techniques were used for product development processes, such as QFD, Cost Analysis, FMEA, Benchmarking, SWOT and Ergonomic Analysis. As a result, , the format of this proposal sought to provide the consumer with greater practicality, safety and precision in paper cutting, and factors such as the low cost of the raw material and the complexity of the packaging, allied to the large utility and lack of market, can further intensify the chances of the product entering the packaging sector, with larger competitive potential.
