Abstract

This research aimed at identifying the competitive criteria that, together with modularisation, impacted the differentiation strategy in industries manufacturing machinery and equipment in Brazil. This was survey-type research that used structural equation modelling (SEM-PLS) for data analysis. A total of 236 responses were obtained from participants in Brazilian machinery and equipment companies in the area of R&D, including directors, managers, coordinators, and supervisors. From this sample, the results show that applied modularisation positively impacted the competitive criteria related to innovation, quality, and flexibility, whereas, when applied to the delivery costs and performance criteria, it did not contribute to a competitive differential. Since it deals with a non-probabilistic sample by convenience, the present model does not represent the relationship between the constructs in a definitive way, for it concerns a model that address a sample of the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry, referring to ISIC D28, from Brazil.

模块化是巴西工业制造机械和设备的竞争标准

本研究旨在确定竞争标准，这些标准与模块化一起影响巴西机械和设备制造业的差异化战略。这是使用结构方程建模（SEM-PLS）进行数据分析的调查型研究。巴西机械设备公司在研发领域的参与者共收到236份回复，其中包括董事、经理、协调员和主管。从这个样本中，结果表明，应用模块化对与创新、质量和灵活性相关的竞争标准产生了积极影响，而当应用于交付成本和绩效标准时，它不会产生竞争差异。由于它处理的是非概率样本，因此本模型并没有以明确的方式表示结构之间的关系，因为它涉及的是一个处理机械和设备制造业样本的模型，参考来自巴西的ISIC D28。
