Implementación de metodologías logísticas para la optimización de operaciones de adecuación y acondicionamiento de vehículos para el SITP en Bogotá

Hoy en día, Bogotá cuenta con aproximadamente 15800 buses de servicio público, no obstante, alrededor de un 45% de esta flota se encuentra en un estado crítico. La existencia de modelos de buses previos al 2003, la falta de revisiones periódicas, negligencias en el cumplimiento de los requisitos para la prestación del servicio, la resistencia al cambio por parte de los transportistas, y demás factores dificultan la labor de actualizar y unificar la flota en el actual plan del Sistema Integrado de Transporte de la ciudad. El Sistema integrado de transporte procura introducir un sistema confiable, eficaz, y rápido que se adapte a la creciente necesidad de movilidad en Bogotá. Este sistema tiene como propósito la integración del sistema Transmilenio con la estructura tradicional de transporte masivo; se pretende complementar, fortalecer e integrar todos los eslabones de transporte segmentado que existen en la ciudad. Las primeras fases del sistema pretenden cambiar la estructura de flota afiliadora a operadora como funciona en Transmilenio, crear un sistema organizado e integrado de buses de servicio público (Urbano, Especial, Complementario, Troncal y Alimentador), y asegurar la calidad en el servicio. El presente proyecto pretende evaluar, analizar y optimizar los procesos que permitirían la adecuación extensiva de la flota de transporte público para su introducción al Sistema Integrado de Transporte. Los procesos principales incluyen la adecuación de todos los vehículos antiguos (modelos anteriores al 2003 pasan por un proceso de reparación, mantenimiento, acondicionamiento) y la implementación de sistemas de tecnológicos. En adición, se plantea crear un sistema homogéneo que permite estándares de calidad y facilidad de mantenimiento.

Análisis sobre los obstáculos para la construcción de una política pública penitenciaria en Colombia (1998-2014)

Desde 1998 la Corte Constitucional ha declarado en dos ocasiones “el estado de las cosas inconstitucional” ante las precarias condiciones del Sistema Nacional Penitenciario y Carcelario (SNPC), sin embargo, los esfuerzos institucionales por superar dicho estado han tenido efectos nulos o limitados. Prueba de ello son las altas tasas de hacinamiento y reincidencia que siguen manifestándose crónicamente por el deficiente funcionamiento del sistema. Precisamente este diagnóstico con alternativas de solución presume que esta situación se debe a la ausencia de una política pública integral, al partir de la identificación de los principales obstáculos para la construcción de una política pública penitenciaria en Colombia entre los años de 1998 y 2014. El ejercicio antes mencionado se apoya en la utilización de dos herramientas metodológicas a saber: el análisis estructural “MICMAC” y el análisis de involucrados. De los resultados arrojados por estos métodos se elaboran así mismo tres recomendaciones sobre política pública penitenciaria.

A practical approach to achieving agility : a theory of constraints perspective

This article documents an action research (AR) project aimed at identifying the practical steps needed to become an agile manufacturer through a combination of the theory of constraints (TOC) and resource- based view (RBV) approaches in a small to medium enterprise (SME) in the Australian manufacturing sector. To date, lean production has been highlighted as a possible catalyst for creating an agile manufacturer, despite the evidence suggesting that lean manufacturing lacks the responsiveness and adaptability to effectively handle a rapidly changing market place and only works well in a stable environment. A more flexible system of production is required to fully encompass the agile characteristics needed to attain a competitive advantage. This research provides empirical evidence that the TOC perspective can be used as a practical approach for becoming an agile manufacturer. The study provides a workable approach for small firms to achieve ‘Agility’ in practice.

Qual é a identidade corporativa dos gerentes estratégicos da sede da E&P e o que isso implica na formação de um ambiente interno cooperativo e/ou competitivo?

Neste trabalho de dissertação busca-se descobrir qual é a identidade corporativa dos principais gerentes da área de Exploração e Produção da PETROBRAS, e analisar os limites e as possibilidades desta identidade na fonnação de um ambiente interno competitivo ou cooperativo. Para tanto, foi realizada pesquisa com base em dois extremos de identidade corporativa, um que representa a identidade corporativa de uma empresa com características de produção em massa e outro que representa uma empresa com características de produção enxuta.

Adaptações do sistema de informações gerenciais para atender necessidades de empresas envolvidas com a implantação do pensamento enxuto: um estudo de caso

The management system based on lean thinking has led to significant changes in the companies that have decided to adopt it. Frequently, those changes do not create a sustainable position coherent with the good results that are obtained. Many are the causes being discussed and analyzed, not only in academia, but also by lean manufacturing institutes and companies. The existing practices related to the managerial information system and the implementation, development, and maintenance of the lean journey may be some of such causes. This dissertation emphasizes whether the changes generated by this type of management are being followed by the managerial information system. The development of such system was in many cases based on mass production, whose principles go against lean manufacturing concepts. Thus, the objective of this dissertation is to verify whether the traditional managerial information system can meet the needs of the companies that adopt lean manufacturing principles. Through a case study based on qualitative and exploratory research in an electronic equipment assembling company, the stage of the implementation of lean thinking concepts at the time of the field research was analyzed, as well as whether the metrics, financial and non financial indicators were suitable for lean principles. The aim of such study was to empirically verify if the criticism found in the existing literature was pertinent or not. The data collected through the analysis of the documentation, the interviews with managers and in loco observation was treated through the content analysis method. The main conclusion of the research is that, although the company in question is investing in training and applying lean principles in its production line and in some administrative activities, the current managerial information system does not demonstrate the specific results obtained with lean principles. However, how changes to the managerial information system will be implemented is yet to be determined. Currently, metrics and indicators aligned with lean management are being added to the managerial reports. As more lean tools are employed, mainly with the consolidation of more value streams, the company has already diagnosed the need for new indicators. The main office has started a diagnosis of measurement and control systems in a product line in one of its affiliates with the goal of studying the possibility of applying the so called lean accounting in the future.

Análise da relação entre manufatura enxuta e desempenho operacional de empresas do setor automotivo no Brasil

Arguments that lean manufacturing can positively relate with the operational performance of companies have been spreading the literature since the 1990s. However, there is a theoretical and empirical gap on this issue that needs further empirical evidence to validate or refute these arguments to the Brazilian reality. Hence, this research aims to, empirically, verify if the lean manufacturing positively influences the performance of the operations of companies in the Brazilian automotive industry, focusing on the segment of automotive parts and components. Methodologically, we carried out a survey of 75 companies in the mentioned sector. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling, a second-generation multivariate analysis. The main results of this research are: in fact, lean manufacturing positively affects the operational performance of the studied companies, validating the main hypothesis stated in this article, but this relation is just considered weak, although positive; all lean manufacturing practices analyzed were encountered in the reality, especially for the variable continuous improvement, with the highest average and the correlation between the adoption of Kanban and Just in Time; the operational performance construct has some practices/measures identified by the literature, which have not been validated by the studied sector, as innovation (new products) and quality.

Gestão de recursos humanos e manufatura enxuta: evidências empíricas do setor automotivo brasileiro

The aim of this paper is to verify whether the practices of human resource management have a positive influence on the adoption of lean manufacturing practices in Brazilian companies in the automotive sector. To this aim, we proposed a framework linking these concepts to the proposed research hypothesis. Data collected from 75 companies were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The research demonstrates that human resource management indeed tends to influence the adoption of lean manufacturing practices in a weak-moderate manner.
