The work situation and class position of Brazilian engineers

This thesis analyses the work situation and class position of Brazilian engineers through a Marxist perspective. The research is based on two case studies, one focused on a large German steel company based in Brazil and the other on a large Brazilian energy corporation. The fieldwork involved 114 interviews, with engineers from different hierarchical positions in these two companies. Data was also gathered through interviews with representatives from the companies, the Council of Engineering, the Engineering Education System and the Engineers Trade Unions. The findings show that the engineering profession in Brazil has shifted from its initial condition as a liberal profession to an organizational profession, with the country's industrial deployment. Both companies consider all salaried workers as employees, including managers. Hence they are subject to the company's general personnel policies. The multinational company controls labour more rigidly than the national company, as well as reserving its top positions for its home country's executives. Although no deskilling process was found, engineers of both companies performed simple work, which required less engineering knowledge than they had learned from school. Engineers have little autonomy, authority and participation in decision making and are subject to direct supervision, performance evaluation, time control, overtime work, productivity and to poor working conditions in the multinational company. The majority of the engineers supervised other workers without being in a managerial position. They found that to move into management, was a good way to improve their autonomy, authority, prestige, salary, status, power and professional pride. Despite ideological divisions between capital and labour, most of the engineers were unionised and saw unions as the right way to deal with the employer.

World class manufacturing: criando estabilidade nos 4M's: expedição

Atualmente, as empresas deparam-se com uma enorme competitividade dos mercados. Esta competitividade faz com que as empresas sejam obrigadas a reagir, através da redução de custos, maior qualidade, redução de desperdícios e processos produtivos mais aptos às necessidades dos clientes. De facto, o grande objetivo de qualquer empresa é a criação de valor para o cliente. É necessário disponibilizar o produto certo, na quantidade certa, no tempo certo e ao custo mínimo, contribuindo de forma eficiente para a melhoria do serviço ao cliente. Por forma a melhorar o serviço ao cliente, as empresas sentem cada vez mais necessidade de recorrer à estabilidade dos processos. O presente projeto tem como principal objetivo a criação de estabilidade nos processos da expedição de uma empresa de argamassas industriais, através do uso de ferramentas pertencentes ao programa World Class Manufacturing com base na filosofia Lean Thinking. Primeiramente, foi utilizado o Value Stream Mapping por forma a representar visualmente as etapas envolvidas nos fluxos de valor da expedição. Depois de calculados os indicadores referentes aos processos da expedição e identificação dos problemas, usaram-se as ferramentas “5 Porquês” e diagrama de Ishikawa para se identificarem as causas raiz dos mesmos. Como contramedida ao combate às causas raiz dos problemas, utilizou-se a ferramenta SMED, comparando o tempo de carga de um camião a um setup. Foram usadas como exemplo duas situações que retratam na íntegra os problemas que ocorrem na área da expedição da empresa. Como plano de ação, reorganizou-se o armazém de preparação de encomendas e utilizou-se a ferramenta Kanban como forma de auxílio no reabastecimento do armazém de preparação de encomendas. Após a implementação, foi feito o seguimento do plano de ações, do método de trabalho e dos indicadores Apesar de não terem sido atingidos todos os objetivos propostos no início do projeto, verificaram-se melhorias em todos os processos da expedição.

On the zeros of the Abelian integrals for a class of Liénard systems

A planar polynomial differential system has a finite number of limit cycles. However, finding the upper bound of the number of limit cycles is an open problem for the general nonlinear dynamical systems. In this paper, we investigated a class of Liénard systems of the form x'=y, y'=f(x)+y g(x) with deg f=5 and deg g=4. We proved that the related elliptic integrals of the Liénard systems have at most three zeros including multiple zeros, which implies that the number of limit cycles bifurcated from the periodic orbits of the unperturbed system is less than or equal to 3.
