Estudo de caso: formulação de custo de um produto de usinagem em uma pequena empresa

Many variables are indirectly involved in the transformation of raw material into a metallurgical industry, such as machine hours, hours of hand labor directly and / or indirect, setup time, etc. This research focuses on the complexity of formulating the cost of metallurgical products, based on a case study, in which one has incurred a large loss on the sale of a product called Punch. The main objective of this work is to define the variables of the cost of members and other metallurgical products, so simplified general, checking what were the failures costing the case studied, in order to help others. The method of formulating cost was determined as recommended by SEBRAE guidance for small businesses. The results showed a loss R$ 13.201,00 in the batch of 15 units of punch. Possible improvements have been identified for reducing the production cost

Planejamento estratégico e operacional na pequena empresa: impactos da formalização no desempenho e diferenças setoriais

This article analyzes the results of three different field research, carried out simultaneously in small technology-based sectors, metal-mechanical industry and hotel in the city of São Carlos - SP, with goals, concepts and methods of similar research. The studies were classified as quantitative and descriptive and conducted through a survey of opinion with the main leader of the company. It were considered valid for analyses, the responses of 57 leaders, it were 33 technology-based sector, 13 of the metal-mechanic industry and 11 in the hospitality sector. The main results: the formalization of planning has not led to better performance, considering the indicator growth in sales in the three sectors studied and that the degree of formalization of the planning of the companies in the technologybased sector was higher, while the hospitality sector had a percentage smaller. The dynamic aspect of technology-based sector and stability in the hotel sector in the region studied, leads to assume that the turbulence of the environment is a predominant factor, contradicting the proposal of some authors, in which the formal planning is inappropriate for small companies that operate in environments that change quickly.

Análisis de madurez de la gestión del capital intelectual en la pequeña y mediana empresa latinoamericana

La gestión del conocimiento y el capital intelectual son conceptos complejos de difícil implantación en las organizaciones y desde nuestra perspectiva, sólo es posible entenderlos desde un punto de vista socio-técnico, es decir, donde el componente humano establece una relación de sinergia con elementos tecnológicos y culturales para ampliar sus capacidades. El modelo exploratorio propuesto está basado en una relación causa-efecto, como resultado de la vinculación entre las TI/SI, la cultura y el capital humano con la gestión del conocimiento organizacional, en el marco de un modelo de madurez. La investigación fue desarrollada sobre un grupo de pymes latinoamericanas del sector industrial y manufacturero. Se usaron ecuaciones estructuradas (PLS) como herramientas de análisis estadístico. Estructuralmente se pudo demostrar la validez del modelo, quedando comprobada su fiabilidad, consistencia, estabilidad, calidad y poder de predicción. Mientras que funcionalmente, éste sirvió como apoyo para demostrar que las Pymes aun no han encontrado el equilibrio que les permita aprovechar eficientemente la tecnología instalada y la capacidad de su recurso humano para explotar su capital intelectual. Su desempeño sigue basado fundamentalmente en su cultura organizacional.
