Amazônicos e tecnológicos: os Suruís de Rondônia e suas articulações globais

Esta pesquisa objetiva descrever e analisar a experiência da comunidade indígena do povo Paiter-Suruí, situada entre os Estados de Rondônia e Mato Grosso, a qual vivencia um processo de inserção tecnológica. Com base em materiais divulgados na internet sobre as parcerias firmadas pelos suruís, com destaque para a formalizada com a multinacional Google, é realizado um estudo da mudança de posição do índio amazônico, relegado historicamente à subalternidade e que, nesse novo cenário tecnológico, ganha voz e capacidade de interferência em sua própria narrativa, em especial, com a utilização da internet. A partir dos conceitos de “ver” e “olhar”, “capital social” e de um apanhado sobre o imaginário construído acerca do indígena, pretende-se subsidiar uma breve análise fenomenológica apoiada pela realização de pesquisa de campo, que busca responder como os suruís enxergam subjetivamente os fenômenos objetivos que vivenciam. Além disso, outras discussões periféricas serão levantadas no decorrer do trabalho, como o pós-colonialismo, o diálogo entre tradição e modernidade e a hibridização das culturas.

Novas estratégias sindicais: a experiência das redes internacionais

O atual c ontexto internacional é reflexo de uma transformaçãosignificativa na ordem mundial baseada cada vez mais nas interações comerciaise financeiras condicionantes dos interesses e estratégias de ação dos países,fenômeno este identificado com o conceito de globalização. Esta nova realidadeimplicou adequações e mudanças nos comportamentos de alguns grupos e atoressociais brasileiros – como o movimento sindical – à medida que o Estado-naçãoperde capacidade de controlar a atuação empresarial neste novo contexto e,consequentemente, teve alterado o seu papel, ganhando um perfil supervisor emdetrimento de sua função de regulamentador. Neste artigo, discutimos como algumasorganizações sindicais brasileiras estão reagindo perante esta nova realidade e quetipo de iniciativas estão sendo tomadas a fim de fortalecer sua posição neste mundoglobalizado.

Recuperação de resíduos plásticos provenientes dos processos de injeção

The competitiveness among global markets, the constant need for reducing manufacturing costs and also the growing environmental commitments are fueling the development of techniques for recovery residual parts generated by industrial processes. Among the various areas of a company, we highlight those that involve the processing of raw materials derived from oil, such as polymers (resins), which may take centuries to decompose in the environment and also present as a economic and environmentally strategic point. Thus, this study would examine the recovery of waste polypropylene, from the injection process of a major multinational in the field of home appliances through the recycling by a process comprising the milling, extrusion and chipping of waste material. Easy to deploy, this proposal aims to reduce levels negligible disposal (scrap) of these residues as well as the reintegration of the production process into pieces no visual and no structural importance, aimed at cutting costs and reducing environmental impacts caused. After the survey data in kilograms of waste material generated in a given period of time, and the study of changes in material properties, it would enable the reuse steadily in the injection process

Analise de defeitos em motores através de vibração mecânica: estudo de caso

Revolving machines are among the most used equipment in general industry and therefore expenditures on this equipment class are a significant portion of the total amount spent by the company. If there is an unscheduled stop of some of this equipment, industrial plants can lose huge amounts of money caused by interrupted production and parts delay. Others may increase significantly maintenance costs due to consequences elsewhere not affected before. Even plant and people safety can be in danger if there is an operation interruption without a backup system start. This work is focused on a rotating system case study which is monitored by vibration analysis that shows that is possible to determine when is the most appropriate time for equipment intervention without any reliability loss just by using a simple and cheap system which is not much used because professionals are not aware to its utility. Industrial facilities were evaluated by fail detection and historical analysis in some equipment in order to show feasibility of vibration analysis through a before-during-after process. The plant evaluated is part of a chemical multinational located in Guaratinguetá-SP. At this time, that plant had around 650 critical equipment monthly monitored and no unscheduled shutdown was registered in one year period due to equipment monitoring

A Gestão de Relações Públicas em culturas organizacionais conflituosas: caso AB InBev

Cultural clashes are part of the intercultural relationships, and especially in the organizations, they cause differences interfering in the process of sharing experiences, expertise and coexistence. This study outlines some communicational actions, built to improve the management of intercultural relations in organizations. This study also is related to the sharing and discussions on the communication planning process and its importance in intercultural differences detained and promoting interfaces between public of “different worlds”. The discussion is supported by theoretical theory of organizations and organizational culture in order to demonstrate a number of aspects related to this subject, which are directly accustomed to public relations activities. It also presents an analysis of the multinational AB InBev, in order to illustrate the process of knowledge and relationships that is built through the construction of the meaning in intercultural environments, as is the case of this organization

Melhoria do nível de serviço no atendimento ao cliente por meio da estrutura direta de distribuição Transit Point

Increasingly competitive markets have driven the search for companies in many different ways to win and keep customers. The service level is basically the performance of companies in fulfilling the orders made, or how companies demonstrate to their clients efforts in their behalf. This work aims to solve the difficulties faced by a multinational company present in Brazil, in the distribution of its products in the category Ice Cream in order to improve the service level of their customers. Review the logistics network and concepts related to the distribution system of products is one of several ways to achieve this goal, as well as the use of IT and tools to assist in planning and programming of the physical distribution of products. In this study we used the concept of direct distribution system called Transit Point (TP). The TP provides at the same time, a strategy of rapid response, flexibility, low transportation costs and no inventory. A router - software capable of simulating the actual conditions experienced in the daily distribution - was used to assist in calculations. Results showed reductions of up to 47.5% in transportation costs and better conditions were provided in the distribution of products, positively impacting on service levels and in the maintenance of products quality, with a reduction of 1.6% of the total costs involve

Implementação da metodologia lean manufacturing em uma linha de produção por meio de certificação interna

To the companies maintain competitive in the market, they need continuous improvement in quality and productivity. This continuous improvement can be achieved through lean manufacturing tools. The idea of lean manufacturing is to map the flow to identify the processes that don’t add value in the final product, according the customer specification, in others words is eliminate or reduce the waste on the production flow. However the implementation of lean manufacturing is not so simple and involves the resistance of the employees, lack of training and the lack of knowledge to make the implementation. The objective of this study is determinate the good practices and difficulties found by a multinational company in the field of healthy that aims implementing the Lean Manufaturing through an internal certification. The methodology used to approach the problem is a case of study that analyzes the information introduced through discussion made by a semi structured interview. The case study describes the steps to get the certification, involving the concepts of 5S, balancing, standardization and routine management. The literature and the study case showed that the good practices, such as productivity increases, safety level increases and the machine stability were accomplished, but the majority difficulties was found in cultural factors and planning. Some recommendations were proposed to the others companies, such as the elaboration of a qualification matrix and the review of the activities chronogram during the implementation. The way that the company found to implement Lean Manufacturing concepts was a creative method to show to everybody the objective and the target to be accomplished and is one way to recognize the effort through the certification
