Abstract

Due to the constant need to establish methods in the supplier selection process to avoid delays, reworks, cost increases and stakeholder discontent in projects in the Oil and Gas (O&G) sector, it is necessary to evaluate multi-criteria models and tools to prioritize both the industry regulations and strict technical specifications. This prioritization provides robustness in the construction of procurement contracts as well as effectiveness in the analysis of the technical proposal by engineering. The present study presents the use of the QFD (Quality Function Development) model in an O&G project in Bahia to build a validation system for high pressure fluid tests, simulating the pre-salt layer. The study aimed to prioritize the requirements to be met by suppliers of Service, Material, Equipment and Instruments from the design phase to the construction and delivery of the project. As a main result, the use of the model provided the integration between different disciplines in the group decision-making process, quantification of the team’s judgments in numbers, understanding of the main risks between project requirements and establishing a technical proposal validation plan considering the requirements resulting priorities, enabling greater assertiveness for acquisitions and technical validations throughout the project life cycle.
