摘要：In this paper, we present a case study developed in a Brazilian metal mechanical company on the application of computer systems as support for a product development process. In the first part, we present a literature review on themes such as product development, PLM and PDM (Product Lifecycle Management and Product Data Management) systems. In the case study, we describe the PDP - Product Development Process and the use of CAD/ CAE (Computer Aided Design and Engineering) systems in the company, as well as some problems observed. In the end, we propose some possible opportunities to PDP improvement using PDM systems
