title: Functional structural change of lean and pulled industrial production system: the flexibility case

description: Abstract: The present work aims to present an application of Lean Production and its tools in the production process of an industry manufacturer of furniture for industrial refrigeration. A strategic change was made and results were evaluated, considering the comparison between the current and future situation in the design of production volume, product characteristics, manufacturing time, and process analysis in relation to wastes, defects and storage of unnecessary materials, which can increase the cost of the final product. Likewise, the reduction or elimination of resources is also a trend from a sustainability perspective, as these inefficiencies can lead to increased consumption generated in production and impact the environment. Considering the importance of the Production Strategy aligned to the operations as a priority for the achievement of positive results, a theoretical, exploratory, bibliographical and descriptive reflection was carried out. The research conducted is of an applied nature and the methods of inductive and comparative approach have been adopted. The applicability of the Lean Production concepts and tools was analyzed and, through a case study, the productive process of the industry was investigated. The contribution is to certify that with the adoption of lean tools and thinking, it is possible to eliminate wastes, promoting improvements in the manufacturing process, and measuring financial gains. As a practical result, this strategic business reorganization reduced costs and improved the process, which has given rise to the level of competitiveness in a globalized economy.

title: Consumer behavior in the disposal of Information Technology Equipment: characterization of the household flow

description: Abstract: The management of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) or electronic waste (e-garbage or e-waste) has become a major concern for urban communities due to the large volumes of waste generated, from the end of the 20th century. In this context, this work seeks to gather information for the implementation of a Reverse Logistics system that is comprehensive and regular for WEEE in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes – RJ. The behavior of the consumer was analyzed using a version adapted and inspired by the AHP Method, regarding to the most relevant considerations when disposing of WEEE (cell phones, computers and tablets). The data needed for this work were collected through the application of a questionnaire with open and closed questions to a sample, random and representative of citizens, in the city under study. It was noticed that the results found would support the decisions to be taken in the design of an efficient management system for WEEE. It is also worth mentioning that this research was carried out under the current considerations of sustainability according to what determines the Brazilian legislation on Solid Waste and can be intended as a prototype to be adapted to the reality of other cities in the country.

title: Is it possible to implement ERP in the production function of civil construction?

description: Abstract: This article aims to identify the critical factors of success for the implementation of an ERP system in the production function of civil construction. The results were obtained from a research of exploratory type, with a qualitative approach, having the multiple-case study as a research strategy and as a method of data collection an interview and thematic coding as an analysis tool. The research identified that the usage of ERP in the production function of construction companies is feasible and it brought as a new contribution to the subject the conclusion that the implementation success is much more related to the organizational policies (planning culture, strategic guideline and production management model) than the ERP features. This research also endorsed the critical factors of success already pointed out by the academia, such as the supplier’s profile, the support from the senior management, and training. Regarding the training, it is highlighted the necessity to change the engineer profile.

title: Risk assessment model in inventory management using the AHP method

description: Abstract: Identification and hierarchy of risks in inventory management allow mapping and generating a plan of actions in order to control them, diminish them or even extinguish them. This research aims to identify and measure the degree of importance of the main problems encountered in the sector of a metal production chain. The method used to develop this research is the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), in order to hierarchize and thus defines the best way to manage risks. The main results of this study reveal that each area of the organization presents a risk that stands out in the management of inventories, allowing the company to control its expenses better, aligning itself with the companies' strategy of producing at the lowest cost. Excess consumption (demand), supplier delay (supply), and stock divergence (material handling) were highlighted as the major risks in their categories. This study revealed that in the category of demand risks, excess consumption was identified as the most critical risk, in the supply category, the supplier delay was identified at the highest risk and finally in the material handling category, the risk divergence of inventory obtained the highest percentage in relation to the other problems.

title: Evaluation of sustainable construction sites: a lean, green and well-being integrated approach

description: Abstract: This paper proposes a performance evaluation model of sustainability for construction sites. This model was developed bringing together the Lean Construction, Green Building and the Well-being concepts addressed through the triple bottom line concept of sustainability. Following the Design Science approach, the model was applied in three construction sites at the city of Fortaleza, northeast of Brazil. Results are presented to validate the performance evaluation model proposed. It can be observed that the model can handle a range of variables both in terms of possible management actions and in terms of their sustainability outcomes. Different from others performance evaluation models, this artefact takes in consideration actions that are theoretically deemed to promote sustainability (according to particular construction phases) and managerial actions that are actually implemented. Finally, graphical displays help to guide how sustainability might improve over time, either evaluating individual sites against their previous records or benchmarking different building projects among different construction companies.

title: Proposal for a framework for production strategy utilizing Big Data: illustrative case in public service

description: Abstract: The production strategy is an overall pattern of decisions and actions that defines the role, objectives and production activities supporting a business strategy. Expanded to a general pattern of decisions determining the long-term skills and their contributions to the global strategy combining market requirements and resources. Currently, from the whole evolution of the internet and its related technologies, there are a wide range of data available in various formats and storage places. This voluminous data set available, called Big Data, can support the understandings and managerial and strategic visions in a way interesting, effective and relevant, since they combine some factors and tools. Therefore, the objective of this article is to present a proposal for a framework that supports the strategy of production via use of aspects of Big Data. The method of research was conducted in three stages: i) literature search in 5 steps; ii)elaboration of a theoretical-conceptual framework (BD-ProdStrateg) in 5 steps; and iii)application of illustration of the proposed framework (BD-ProdStrateg). The main contribution was the systematization of a proposal using a theoretical right to authors of consolidated production strategy and on the other hand the latest reference about Big Data and its possibilities to be explored. Illustrative application generated an expectation of continuity and search for technological means to check on how long the main problems would be resolved and what degree of economics from this deployment.

title: Research on coating technology with wet-process sprayed mortar: waste and productivity

description: Abstract The mechanical application of mortar is as an adequate solution to minimize the problems in the execution of internal and external coating of the buildings. However, few scientific studies address the gains in efficiency afforded by mechanization as well as the scarce parameters of waste, productivity and quality that could contribute to choosing this technology. This article aims to characterize the presented constructive technology and to investigate the waste of mortar (percentage of losses and consumption) and the productivity of the labor in the execution of internal and external coating for sealing in the application of wet-process sprayed mortar. Investigations were carried out in 08 construction works, which presented results of up to 150% and 0.18h/m2 for, respectively, loss of industrialized mortar and labor productivity. Thus, the present research contributes to the advancement of the knowledge about the wet-process sprayed mortar by increasing the understanding of the technology. Other important contributions are the indicators of losses and productivity and their detailed measurement, which are efficient tools to assist the companies in the decision-making by adopting this technology as well as in the management of the activities during the execution process.

title: Public Sector Social-environmental Diagnosis Model: application in a federal autarky, Rio de Janeiro

description: Abstract: The Brazilian public administration system has thousands of organizations and departments at federal, state, and municipal levels, distributed throughout the national territory. These conduct activities that can have significant social and environmental impacts. The present research aims to propose a sustainability index through the Public Sector Social-environmental Diagnosis Model (DISASP). This model is based on the Environmental Management Accounting System developed by researchers from the Federal University of Santa Catarina. The proposed model complements this system by including the guidelines of the Environmental Public Administration Agenda, a Ministry of the Environment program that encourages socio-environmental management practices in the government sector. The DISASP method was tested in a federal autarky in the city of Rio de Janeiro. For institutional diagnosis, seven managers were sent a questionnaire containing 124 questions with eight thematic axes: Rational Use of Natural Resources and Public Goods; Adequate Waste Management; Quality of Life in the Work Environment; Awareness and Training; Sustainable Public Procurement; Sustainable Construction; Social and Environmental Responsibility; and Institutional Management. A “weak” sustainability index was obtained, indicating the need for this sector to improve its socio-environmental performance. The study indicated that DISASP adequately fulfilled its role as an instrument for assessing socio-environmental practices in the public sector. Future studies should extend application of the DISASP method to the autarky under study at various points in time, as well as apply it to other public agencies.
