The research team built their investigation around a survey of sixteen manufacturing engineers working in the automotive industry, all experts in manufacturing processes.
Of the surveyed engineers, 87.5 percent worked at two automotive OEMs in the Brazilian Northeast, and the same proportion reported more than ten years of experience in the automotive industry.
Although the evaluation method itself could be applied to assess the automotive industry in any region or country, the results presented reflect only the Brazilian Northeast automotive industry and cannot be considered a snapshot of the national scenario.
