Abstract

This article describes the development of a data analysis tool through the Design Thinking method for automating tasks in an automobile industry, focusing on increasing agility and visibility of the data contained in the company. For this, an analysis was performed with 20 employees, using the empathy map method to define the main problems and needs. Based on the results, a dashboard prototype was developed, and later, the questionnaire method was used to validate the tests. With the answers to the questionnaire, feedback was obtained on critical points and opportunities for improving the platform. As a result, an agile, easy-to-handle and reliable tool was achieved, aimed at meeting the needs of its users, that is, a solution developed based on the needs and experiences of the user.
