The “V” model for decision analysis of additive manufacturing implementation

Abstract

PurposeThis study aims to broaden the understanding of the additive manufacturing (AM) body of knowledge, presenting a model better suited to the current level of technological development that supports the decision to implement AM in industries, based on the experience of companies in the industry of orthopedic medical implants.Design/methodology/approachBased on the design-science research, the model for the decision to adopt the AM was designed and submitted to experts from the industry of orthopedic implants in Brazil for refinement. For the empirical test of the final model, interviews were used in a company that was considering implementing AM and in another that was not, to evaluate the model.FindingsThe model considers seven dimensions for decision analysis of AM implementation: legal constraints, financial, technological, operational, organizational, supply chain and external factors, being subdivided into 42 criteria that play a relevant role in the implementation decision. The analysis factor of each dimension and criteria are also presented.Originality/valueThe model seeks to be as complete as possible and can be used by various industrial productive sectors, incorporating the analysis of the requirements of health regulatory agencies, suitable for the analysis of the decision to implement AM for the manufacturing of medical implants, not found in other models.

“…In AM processes, the V-model provides a comprehensive framework for managing the development of new products or technologies. It ensures that each stage of the development process is systematically planned and executed, leading to the successful implementation of AM projects ( De Lima et al, 2023 ). In summary, with its structured and phased approach, the V-model has proven to be a versatile and robust framework that extends well beyond its original software development context.…”
