Business Model Canvas as Tool for SME

Part III: Sustainable ServicesInternational audienceSME needs good tools to overcome the “grow or die” situation many of them reaches a few years after start. This paper describes the strategy of two SMEs, based on a short case study, in the context of Osterwalders’ Business Model Canvas. The investigation try to map whether SMEs, such as the given case studies, actually follow or can utilize a pattern towards success in line with Osterwalders Business Map Canvas. , The work suggests that the Canvas is suitable for mapping purposes of current activities, but not suitable as a “paradigm” or framework to follow when outlining strategies for the future

Administração limpa e enxuta em sistemas hidráulicos de colhedoras de cana-de-açúcar Clean and lean administration in hydraulic systems of sugarcane harvesters

Dentre as importantes mudanças nos processos de produção, está à necessidade de garantir sustentabilidade aos empreendimentos. Isso faz prever mudanças na gestão empresarial para adequar-se a um novo modelo, com a inserção dos conceitos de Produção Limpa, Mais Limpa, Enxuta e Manutenção Produtiva Total (MPT). O foco principal deste trabalho foi elaborar uma metodologia que possibilitou aumentar a confiabilidade nos sistemas hidráulicos das colhedoras de cana-de-açúcar, identificando e analisando os modos de falhas, visando à melhoria da qualidade ambiental e socioeconômica em uma indústria sucroalcooleira, promovendo a diminuição significativa do desperdício de óleo hidráulico durante o processo de colheita motomecanizada. O histórico existente no controle do planejamento da empresa, utilizado na Usina sucroalcooleira, permitiu a avaliação do desempenho operacional de colhedoras de cana-de--açúcar durante três safras. Durante esse período, por meio da elaboração e da efetivação de um controle total, acompanharam-se os modos de falhas no sistema hidráulico de cinco colhedoras. Com base na metodologia desenvolvida, elaborou-se um programa computacional para processar os dados obtidos e facilitar a tomada de decisões.<br>Among the important changes in the production processes, it is necessary to guarantee the sustainability of the human enterprises, what makes us to foresee changes in the managerial administration to adapt to a new model, with the insert of the concepts of Clean Production, Cleaner, Lean and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). The main focus of this work was to elaborate a methodology that made it possible to guarantee the reliability in the waterworks of the sugarcane harvester, identifying and analyzing the manners of flaws, in order to result in the improvement of the environmental and socioeconomic quality in the atmosphere of an industry of sugarcane through the significant decrease of hydraulic oil spill. Through the existent report in ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), used in a Sugarcane Industry Plant, it was possible to accompany of the operational acting of the sugarcane harvester used during 03 crops, regarding the manners of flaws in the waterworks of the same ones, and, in one of the crops it was elaborated the total control of the waterworks of 5 harvesters. Based on the obtained data and the developed methodology it was possible to develop a software that specifies the electric outlet of decisions
