    (UNIVERSIDAD TÉCNICA DE AMBATO - FACULTAD DE DISEÑO ARQUITECTURA - MAESTRÍA EN DISEÑO, 2025-05-16) Arias Villavicencio Valeria Elizabeth; Escobar Guanoluisa Taña Elizabeth; UNIVERSIDAD TÉCNICA DE AMBATO - FACULTAD DE DISEÑO ARQUITECTURA - MAESTRÍA EN DISEÑO
    This project was based on the adaptation of the UNE 166000:2006 standard for product development by the company Calzado LIWI, located in Ambato, a city in the state of Ambato. This company has been manufacturing orthopedic footwear for 20 years. Adapting this standard allowed for the identification of continuous improvement processes within the company, as well as the proper documentation and systematization of processes for product development. By gathering information using research tools such as interviews, surveys, observation sheets, and document analysis sheets, it was possible to identify the technical, anatomical, biomechanical, and ergonomic requirements for product development, as well as the creative process required for proper product development, ranging from consumer analysis to prototyping, testing, and fit testing prior to mass production in the case of generic pathologies. This research provided relevant information for constructing a series of practical tools that companies can use to develop as many products as they deem necessary. These tools were developed with the organization's context, its environment, and the information detected during data collection in mind. By applying these tools, the entire product development process can be visualized, and by applying the testing and continuous improvement process, it is possible to clearly identify which parts of the process require continuous improvement. With this information, a standard adaptation guide has been developed. This guide provides the company's institutional framework with a framework where the processes, actions, materials, and other elements involved in the process will be documented, validated, and reprocessed if necessary. They can also be replicated with the necessary improvements and periodic evaluation of these guidelines, which are recommended to be carried out semiannually
