Ergonomic work analysis application in a small shoe business

This paper aims to presentthe results after conducting an Ergonomic Work Analysis (EWA) in a smallbusiness located in Porto Alegre. The ergonomic intervention was performed basedon Guérin et al. (2001) and aimed to analyze the process organization and thelayout of the shoemaker workstations to provide improvements to these areas.The starting point was the account of the small shoe business owner’s need hadto hire one more shoemaker without increasing the company physical space. The EWAwas used focusing the work organization, how the flow of information ran fromthe entry of an order to the final stage of the product repairing. Thediagnosis showed the company main problems were related to the shop assistantsdependence on the shoemakers to provide budget information and delivery time tocustomers and the layout organization. Among the results, a temporal analysisof two company recurrent tasks was performed in order to ascertain possiblelosses related to the displacement and the search for material. A new layoutscheme was also proposed, aiming to organize the work stations, making easierthe stock, tools and equipment removal, providing a free space to make possiblethe hiring of the new shoemakers within the current company boundaries

DEFINIÇÃO DE PAINEL DE INDICADORES DE DESEMPENHO PARA INSTITUIÇÕES COMUNITÁRIAS DE ENSINO SUPERIOR

O estudo objetiva desenvolver um painel de indicadores de desempenho para auxiliar no processo de gestão das instituições comunitárias de ensino superior. Este estudo está baseado em uma abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa, utilizando grupo focal com gestores de uma IES comunitária, no sentido de propor um conjunto de indicadores elencados dentro de 4 (quatro) constructos: (I) Ensino; (II) Pesquisa; (III) Extensão; (IV) Gestão. A avaliação do grau de importância dos indicadores propostos no painel ocorreu por meio de aplicação de questionário a 9 (nove) gestores de IES comunitárias, sendo 3 (três) pertencentes ao Sistema ACAFE; 2 (duas) de IES associadas ao COMUNG; e 4 (quatro) confessionais. Estabeleceu-se como ponto de corte, os indicadores que atingiram uma média inferior a 3,5, excluindo-se do painel 4 indicadores. A principal contribuição deste estudo é a elaboração de um painel de indicadores de desempenho com 118 indicadores associados a 4 (quatro) constructos e 14 (quatorze) sub-constructos, podendo ser aplicado em Instituições de Ensino Superior comunitárias, alinhando ao planejamento estratégico de longo prazo

A Method of R&D Electronic Product for Application by

  This paper describes a method for research and development (R&D) of electronic product for use by independent engineers, designers and inventor. The method was under continuous development and optimization from 1980 to 2008 and the concept is based on the analysis and synthesis of 13 product development methodological models. The method was originally proposed to suit the needs of a small company engaged in research, development and production of industrial electronic audio processing products for Radio Broadcasting Stations. The method was optimized with the assistance of Researchers from the Center of Technological Innovation of the Vale do Paranhana -   one of a series of such Centers established by the Program of Technological Innovation promoted by the Government of the State of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. As a result, a method was obtained particularly suitable for utilization by independent engineers, designers and inventors to facilitate the creative process and increase efficiency in the design of new products, and especially to ensure that the incorporation of these elements results in more innovative and competitive products
