Uma heurística aplicada a um problema de escalonamento na indústria calçadista

Problemas de escalonamento ocorrem com freqüência, principalmente em empresas de manufatura. Entretanto, na maioria das vezes, ferramentas matemáticas de apoio à decisão são pouco utilizadas, pois requerem profissionais capacitados, softwares caros e computadores muito potentes. Esta dissertação tem como objetivo mostrar uma heurística capaz de reduzir a quantidade de fôrmas na indústria calçadista. Inicialmente, foram comparadas as soluções fornecidas pela heurística com as soluções obtidas a partir do modelo matemático de programação linear, com a finalidade de verificar o quão próximas estão ambas as respostas. Em seguida, foram comparadas a solução fornecida pela heurística e a solução presentemente adotada por uma empresa de calçados denominada de Empresa de Calçados X. Os principais resultados obtidos foram: a) o resultado fornecido pela heurística apresenta menos de 10% de acréscimo no número de pares de fôrmas em relação ao resultado fornecido pelo modelo matemático de programação linear inteira tipo 0/1; b) a solução fornecida pela heurística reduz, em média, 23,4% a quantidade de fôrmas necessárias, podendo chegar próximo a 40%. Isto pode trazer uma estimativa de redução anual na ordem de R$ 288.100,00; c) o percentual de redução na quantidade de pares de fôrmas é variável, dependendo de cada caso.

Proposta de implantação de um modelo de desenvolvimento de produtos no setor de modelagem de uma empresa de calçados

Este trabalho apresenta uma análise das melhorias introduzidas no Processo de Desenvolvimento de Produtos (PDP) de uma empresa de calçados denominada Calçados Reifer Ltda. Estas melhorias foram aplicadas especificamente ao setor de Modelagem, que é o principal responsável por este desenvolvimento, objetivando sua otimização e a diminuição no parâmetro tempo de entrega do novo produto ao mercado. O processo de desenvolvimento dos novos modelos na indústria de calçados é estratégico, devido aos requisitos dos clientes relativos a este parâmetro serem progressivamente menores -especialmente para as companhias que produzem para exportação. Qualquer demora relativa à definição ou ao cumprimento das especificações de produto podem pôr em risco a competitividade da empresa. Assim, foi analisada a estrutura do PDP atual baseada nas referências teóricas, como as providas pelas ciências administrativas, e pela gestão do desenvolvimento de produtos e processos. A proposta de um processo aperfeiçoado e mais rápido, baseado em uma abordagem específica de gestão de recursos, introduzindo melhorias significativas na gestão do processo e na qualidade do produto final obtido, a par da agilização do processo, possibilitou a obtenção de melhorias no PDP.

GRIOT - sistema CAD inteligente para design de calçados

O presente trabalho é o estudo dos aspectos da metodologia projetual, face às novas tecnologias da informática, Inteligência Artificial (Sistemas Especialistas) e CAD, consideradas as reais possibilidades de automatização no processo de concepção em Design. Esse artigo propõe uma metodologia para a construção de sistema inteligente capaz de auxiliar o designer nas tarefas projetuais. A indústria de calçados foi utilizada como estudo de caso para a aplicação da metodologia, onde as reais possibilidades de automação são verificadas.

Gestão da cadeia de suprimento e vantagem competitiva: uma análise em setores industriais a partir da visão relacional

This work has as its main purpose to investigate the contribution of supply chain management in order to obtain competitive advantage by companies from the textile industry and from Ceará footwear industry, focusing its analysis mainly in the interorganizational relations (dyadic). For this, the theoretical referential contemplates different explanatory streams of the competitive advantage, detaching the relational perception of the resources theory, as well as, the main presuppositions of the supply chain management which culminates with the development of an analysis sample that runs the empirical study; the one which considers an expanded purpose of the supply chain which includes the government and the abetment institutions as institutional environment representatives. Besides supply chain management consideration as a competitive advantage source, the work also tried to identify other possible competitive advantage sources for the companies of the investigated sectors. It represents a study of multiple interpretive cases, having four cases as a total; meaning two cases in each one of the sectors, which used as a primary data collecting instrument a semi-structured interview schedule. Different methods were used for the data analysis, the content analysis and the constant comparison methods, the analytical procedure originated from the grounded theory research strategy, which were applied the Atlas/ti software recourse. Considering the theoretical referential and the used analysis sample, four basic categories of the work were defined, including its respective proprieties and dimensions: (1) characteristics concerning to the relationship with the supplier; (2) the company relations with the government; (3) the company relations with the abetment institutions and; (4) obtaining sources of competitive advantage. In general, the applied research in the footwear sector revealed that in the relationships of the researched companies related to its suppliers, there is a predominance of the partnership system and the main presuppositions of the supply chain management are applied which contributes for the acquisition of the relational competitive advantage; while in the textile sector, only some of these presuppositions are applied, with little contribution for the relational competitive advantage. The main resource which was accessed by the companies in both sectors through its relationships with the government and the abetment institutions are the tax incentives which, for the footwear companies, contribute for the acquisition of the temporary competitive advantage in relation to the contestants who do not own productive installations in the Northeast region, it also conducts to a competitive parity situation in relation to the contestants who own productive installations in the Northeast region and to the external market contestants; while for the companies of the textile sector, the tax incentives run the companies to a competitive parity situation in relation to its contestants. Furthermore, the investigated companies from the two sectors possess acquisition sources of the competitive advantage which collimate with different explanatory streams (industrial analysis, resources theory, Austrian school and the dynamic capabilities theory), although there is a predominance of the product innovation as a competitive advantage source in both sectors, due to the bond of these with the fashion tendencies

Os desafios da gestão feminina no setor calçadista de Franca(SP) sob o olhar do serviço social

Baseado em ampla pesquisa de campo, o trabalho analisa a situação da mulher em um setor economicamente tradicional, o calçadista, no qual parte importante da mão de obra pertence ao sexo feminino. A autora buscou, principalmente, compreender a atual cultura organizacional das empresas calçadistas, partindo da análise da gestão feminina, que vem crescendo no setor. Foram ouvidas tanto gestoras como operárias e, de acordo com a autora, os estudos reforçam a percepção inicial de que a divisão sexual é ainda profundamente marcante na indústria de calçados, com grande prejuízo para as operárias e para as próprias gestoras. Embora estas últimas tenham aberto espaços, o fizeram enfrentando preconceitos e desconfianças da cadeia produtiva, que ainda persistem. Certamente por isso, terminam por reproduzir a essência do conservador e ideologicamente predominante mundo masculino, onde os trabalhadores - e especialmente as mulheres- são tratados como mercadorias, não havendo lugar para a valorização pessoal, equidade nas contratações, planos de carreira e igualdade nas conquistas
