In the present scenario of search for quality and competitiveness, many companies use digital mockups to analyze performance, manufacturability, maintainability and other characteristics of products. Virtual prototyping, or DMU (Digital Mockup), consists of an environment where one can check products and processes, exchange information and make decisions, from the conceptual design stage through detailing. However, by restriction time or lack of appropriate guidelines, many of these activities are postponed or neglected. The present work aims to define a sequence of DMU analysis activities, applicable to different industries, able to reduce rework and assist architects and designers in identifying inconsistencies in digital mockups. Modeled in BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) standard, the process proposed herein provides analysis in areas such as assembly, security, ergonomics, manufacturing, operation and maintenance. To verify the process applicability and consistency, the context of an agriculture equipment manufacturing company was considered. In this study, aligned with the principles of DSR (Design Science Research), it was necessary to identify the flow of activities involved (i.e. product architects and designers) as well as their needs and constraints. The evaluation of process performance was done through questionnaires submitted to stakeholders. From the application of the proposed solution, it is possible to reduce the number of reworks and identify problems in early stages of product development, thus contributing to improvement of quality indicators and competitiveness of enterprises.
