A concorrência nos mercados locais e internacionais tem levado as empresas a tomarem-se cada vez mais competitivas e atentas as mud3nças no mercado, possibilitando-Ihes melhorias em seus processos produtivos. Este trabalho apresenta a modelagem e análise de melhorias no processo produtivo de uma empresa de montagem de câmaras de bronzeamento. A simulação computacional foi utilizada como ferramenta de análise das possíveis oportunidades de melhorias a serem introduzidas no processo produtivo. O processo original foi modelado com o objetivo de identificar e caracterizar a distribuição de tempos e utilização dos equipamentos e rerorsos presentes no processo produtivo da empresa. Diferentes propostas de melhorias foram investigadas e uma nova modelagem do processo foi sugerida, considerando exigências do mercado e características do processo produtivo empresarial. Comparações matemáticas entre os resultados foram elaboradas e as conclusões sobre o estudo são apresentadas ao final do trabalho. Os resultados da simulação estão sendo usados para avaliar possíveis alterações no processo produtivo da empresa, bem como para gerar documentos que registram conhecimento corporativo sobre possíveis arranjos na produção.

O uso da simulação computacional como ferramenta de auxílio à tomada de decisão : aplicação em empresa de papelão ondulado

A competição entre as empresas pela busca de mercado tem levado ao aprimoramento de suas atividades e melhorias em seus processos produtivos. Este trabalho apresenta a análise do processo produtivo de uma empresa produtora de embalagens de papelão ondulado através da técnica da simulação computacional. O simulador ProModel foi utilizado no desenvolvimento do estudo e se mostrou adequado para a modelagem do processo produtivo e geração de resultados. Com a sua capacidade de animação, criação de macros e geração de relatórios, ficou facilitado o desenvolvimento e analise de cenários. Isto permitiu que o foco do estudo ficasse sobre a análise dos resultados e simulação de cenários e não na programação para criação e rodagem do modelo de simulação. A partir da modelagem do processo real de trabalho foi possível identificar restrições de capacidades no sistema, o que levou à criação de cenários onde oportunidades de melhoria pudessem ser avaliadas. A revelação de que a parcial utilização do equipamento denominado Onduladeira, o qual gerava perdas por ociosidade nas impressoras, acabou se mostrando como o gargalo do processo produtivo é o mais indicado ponto de melhoria. Com o incremento de produtividade sobre este equipamento, definido a partir de análises dos cenários, obteve-se como resultado a utilização de 100% dos demais equipamentos do processo produtivo. Análises e comparações de resultados entre os cenários e as conclusões do estudo são apresentadas no final do trabalho.

Impacto urbano em áreas de interesse e proteçõa ambiental : produção do espaço em zonas de preservação ambiental da cidade de Pelotas na lei 2565/80

Os impactos associados ao crescimento e transformação urbana ampliaramse nesse último século, nas cidades brasileiras. O processo de degradação e a desequilibrada ocupação do espaço periférico constituem problemas urbanos marcantes, onde conflitos de interesses diversos são materializados no espaço por acentuadas desigualdades sociais. Nesse contexto, são identificadas deficiências no sistema de planejamento tradicional em tratar o processo de produção e uso do espaço urbano relacionado à problemática socioespacial e ambiental. Considerando as áreas protegidas inseridas nas cidades, esse trabalho busca relacionar urbanização e meio ambiente através do estudo do impacto e avaliação de desempenho da lei 6525/80, II Plano Diretor de desenvolvimento urbano da cidade de Pelotas no período 80/2000 em zonas de preservação ambiental, na busca de alternativas aplicáveis ao planejamento urbano, examinando os processos mais gerais de produção do espaço e a estrutura fundiária. Foram selecionadas variáveis relativas à problemática ambiental e espacial, relacionadas com a regulamentação vigente, Lei 6525/80 e com aspectos socioeconômicos a fim de proporcionar o monitoramento da informação do desenvolvimento urbano. Propõe-se, na análise, a classificação das zonas de preservação em Unidades Espaciais de Planejamento-UEPs, as glebas assentamentos, em Unidades Espaciais de Desempenho-UEDs, e o ambiente natural em Unidades Geomorfológicas-UGs, cujos dados relativos aos aspectos ambientais, espaciais e socioeconômicos são identificados, descritos e analisados posteriormente através de procedimentos estatísticos multivariados. As conclusões desse trabalho mostram a inadequação da regulamentação, lei 6525/80, no que se refere aos mecanismos de controle da dinâmica de uso do solo, quanto à qualidade do espaço produzido e proteção do meio ambiente, assim como a validação da metodologia aplicada na análise. A utilização de instrumentos de planejamento e gestão mais dinâmicos se faz necessário, assim como a utilização de novas metodologias, considerando os processos naturais relacionados ao meio ambiente no qual a cidade está inserida.

A produção de biodiesel no assentamento Canudos RN: perspectivas e limites da inclusão social

The need to become energy self-sufficient a country with which Brazil has sought renewable energy sources due to the possibility of depletion of oil in coming decades. This paper will examine the perspective of social inclusion the latest energy plan developed by the Federal Government: the National Program of Biodiesel Production and Use - PNPB. It aims to find out whether that work with family farmers who participated in the PNPB socially included and what limits its inclusion. Secondly, the objective is to analyze the Brazilian biodiesel production and its uses. The methodology used for the preparation of this study was to examine the literature, visits to the study area, conducting interviews with the leadership of the settlement, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with families producing sunflower. Finally, the research dealt with the statistical data. After analyzing the data was verified that the instrument PNPB is able to promote the social inclusion of family farmers, but this occurred in the initial stages because the families involved need a minimum framework of organization and infrastructure to develop activities related to biodiesel

Território usado e transporte coletivo : mobilidade e acessibilidade no Bairro Lagoa Azul Natal/RN

Transport systems involved the use of territory in different Brazilian cities with regard to the occupation of road systems in urban areas. The implementation of systems engineering and transport infrastructure such as roads (roads), signs, stops, stations and complex road (bridges, viaducts and tunnels) are not used in the same way in the area. The subway is not even use the bus and vice versa. The time spent in travel, the time to access and the number of trips made by passengers in each way of transport is not the same. The use of transport systems in the territory, therefore, takes place through a whole in the current period we are in the technicalscientific and informational. This work addresses, however, the area used as a synonym of geographical area, analyzed by two categories of analysis, systems of objects formed by the fixed and the systems formed by the action flows. The system analyzed is the public transport by bus and population displacement that makes using this medium with source destination from home to work and has as empirical cut the Lagoa Azul located in the district administrative area north of Natal / RN. The general objective of this research is to understand the extent to which public transport has contributed to the socio-spatial accessibility of the residents of Barrio Blue Lagoon, located in Natal-RN, emphasizing the way home and the workplace. To reach the general objective of this dissertation, a study was made in light of the line which the methodological empirical facts, statistical data and theoretical knowledge of the events that occur in the quarter related to the Lagoa Azul economic aspects. Use for this, the concepts of mobility and Accessibility

De baixo para cima: implicações socioespaciais da transferência da feira livre na (re)produção do espaço urbano de Nova Cruz-RN (1991-2010)

The present work is about the reproduction of the urban area of Nova Cruz RN, with the objective of analyzing the social and spatial implications of the relocation of the main street market in the city from 1991 on. Nowadays, the city of Nova Cruz takes over importance in the potiguar social and spatial scenario due to its condition of central city which is practiced for decades in Potiguar Agreste Microregion. Beginning with its formation process connected with traveler‟s hostel which assisted the activity of cattle transportation, further in time by the golden era of cotton production in its territory, it was noticed that its importance in relation with the nearby towns has been happening differently throughout time. From the year 1991 on, the town of Nova Cruz has gone through a territory restructuring of its urban area due to the relocation of the open market from Downtown neighborhood to São Sebastião neighborhood. Such territorial movement resulted in a reformation of the town‟s urban space, promoting in both neighborhoods urban growth and the expansion of commercial activity associated with the migration of the commercial center of the city. The transference of the commercial area has caused these processes through the new uses of the land towards the São Sebastião region, it has also caused a decrease in market value of the downtown area as a result of the breakdown of previous existing business activities, their service contribution and the citizen migration, establishing a space and socioeconomic portrait in the neighborhood. From this context, our analysis seeks to understand the social and spatial impacts occurred in Downtown neighborhood, the way in which the production and reproduction of the urban space in São Sebastião neighborhood and the implications resulted from the actions of the administrative power in restructuring of the urban space of Nova Cruz. In order to do so, a bibliographical research was used to compose our theoretic-conceptual mark, discussing the matter with authors such as Roberto Lobato Corrêa, Ana Fani, Milton Santos, Manuel Castells e Heri Lefvbre, among others, discussing on the subject of urban analysis, the concepts of urban space and the process of reproduction of the urban space. A field research was utilized in our area of study by means of primary data gathering through interviews, questionnaire and photographic register. Secondary data gathering was also obtained by means of bibliographical and documental research related to our study object. By these means, it was sought to contribute to the understanding of the urban space through its production and reproduction based upon the discovery of social and spatial practices

A construção e estruturação do território comercial no bairro Alecrim Natal/RN

The study done has as objective the comprehension of the constructed territorial spaces through the commercial perspective, because it is a social practice which enables the dynamic of the space and the appearing of territories. Related to the territory, we emphasized the interest for the idea of used territory treated by Milton Santos, because we agreed with him believing that is the use of the territory which warrants its legitimacy. Then, the spatial dimension chose concentrates itself into the district of Alecrim, localized at the east zone of Natal/RN, where it is recognized by its strong commercial dynamic which was built during years, facing some events which happened in the context of the city. However, this dynamic counts with a hard dichotomy which involves as the considered by the State formal activities, as the informal one. About the commerce of the district, it has characteristics into its activities whose make him to be considered popular, as by the existing products, as by the strong presence of informal workers that constitutes the district s landscape. The informal workers practice expresses one of the multiples constructed alternative territorialities. We believe that this fact has direct relation with the growing process of the exclusion from the formal jobs market. Still talking about the spatial dimension, this real example of the Alecrim district shows how the techniques changes, together with the capitalism process, may influence one entire spatial dynamic across years, involving many agents, since the transient people from somewhere, until the State. Shall the Geography understand the multiple forms from the space, face to the relations that occur into it and also how new territories have been built

As transformações fundiárias da comunidade de sibaúma-rn com o advento do turismo

The genesis of the research emerges from reflection about the space dynamics of the capital and to the capital. The expansion and the incorporation of territory for capital reveal, in part, strategies of the capitalism production way, which shows the search for accumulation conditions, expanding the alternatives of territory use that is, nowadays, selective and uneven. The present work verified the mechanisms where the capital imposes its practices through the agrarian structure and the valuation of land market, meaning, in our knowledge, that the reproduction of inequalities is showed, many times, by the wide land speculation and the fast land valuation. For this, the snip space will be the Sibaúma community, belonging to Tibau do Sul district, located in Rio Grande do Norte state. It‟s a rural area that has, gradually, changing through the advent of urban characteristics, given the association of public and private investments, both domestic and international. Through the empirical observations, inside the Sibaúma community, it was found expansion strategies, incorporation and appropriation of territory by capital. As a result of this practice, it‟s occurring the land valuation and the presence of a process of socio-spatial segregation, through the encouraging the opening of new subdivisions, mainly for construction of second homes and tourism enterprises in order to meet the demand of a higher socioeconomic level. The areas still available in Sibaúma, constitute into a reserve of value for the achievement of capitalist rent, being a mechanism of capital reproduction. In this way, to studying the socio-spatial transformations, caused by spatial valuation, we turn to the project of social space designed by Santos(2006), from the perspective of capitalist production of space, by understanding the historical process of formation, the mechanisms and the actions of social actors that produce and consume space

O circuito espacial da indústria de cerâmica vermelha no seridó potiguar

This research has as an empirical universe, the productive territory of red ware in the Seridó region of Rio Grande do Norte. In the last years this territory has gone through a process of appropriation that has been substantially changing the environmental and social dynamism of the place. However, the industry of red ware has been focusing in some areas, mainly, in the county of Parelhas and Carnaúba dos Dantas. From this point of view, the aim of this work consists in analyze the use of these areas by the red ware industry and the transformations occurred with the expansion of the number of industries and the productivity raise, that requires bigger amounts of earthenware and wood, resources that are low in referred territory. As the result of this process, the suitable alternative has been to acquire inputs in other Rio Grande do Norte counties, as well as in Paraíba counties. To reach the proposed objective, the methodology of this work was consisted of bibliographic and empirical research, regarding the occupation that this activity covers in the Seridó region. From the information obtained during the research, it can be stated that the inputs to the production execution in the red ware industry are acquired in the geographic nearby lands. The analysis of the stages of the production(acquisition of raw material, production and commercialization) showed that the activity acts in a continuous area, having as principal consumer market other northeastern states and the state of Pará. The present study revealed that the pottery activity is set as untenable, because of non-stopping use of the argil and wood, resources that are vanishing from the area, which consume causes a many problems such as deforestation and erosion. Besides, the sale of productive lands for the red ware industries makes harder its good use by the familiar agriculturists in the development of agriculture and cattle raising activity, which for many times is the main economic activity of the place. The precariousness reveals in the constant accidents at work, that most of them are neglected by the local authorities, without any penalty to the industries. Therefore, the industry of red ware in Seridó uses the territory as a resource, leaving its environmental problems that my compromise the quality of life of the actual and future generations

A vilegiatura marítima e a urbanização em Tibau/RN

This research aims the analysis of the urbanization process that has taken place in the coastal city of Tibau/RN in the period comprising 1980-2012, due to the (re) production of space to consumption of leisure and recreation, through the so called practice of Maritime Villeggiatura. Such practice exists so that people settle temporarily on the beach as a second home, interfering in the Regulation of the land use as well as in the urban planning of Tibau, promoting urbanization based in the logic of leisure, with enormous capacity for appropriation and space consumption. The practice of Maritime Villeggiatura in Tibau began in the late nineteenth century, becoming more relevant in the 1980s, when the practice became fashionable for the citizens of Mossoró City, in view of their economic strength, and consumption power to invest in this type of domicile. Tibau has become a great depository of second homes for leisure practice, which contributed even to the city administrative and political emancipation in 1997. The intensification of Real Estate activities, expanding second homes along the coast, results in the urbanization of Tibau territory with the assistance of Local Government, whom was interested in entering Tibau on the State tourism routes. The used methodology comprised literature review, data collection and local observation. Questionnaires were applied in the form of interviews to the villeggiaturistas, local residents, business and trade services local companies, a local agricultural firm named Agricultura Famosa Ltda., Municipal government and the Association of Senior Citizens of the municipality of Tibau. A photographic record was made to visualize the urbanization evolution of Tibau. It has also been taken georeference measures of the area object of study in this research, in order to analyze the use and occupation of the territory by urban and social agents villeggiaturistas and residents. The conclusion is that the urbanization process that has been taken in Tibau occurred along the coast shore, with low population density, and therefore creating difficulties to governance of the Municipal government. Real Estate Sector has been promoting the value increase of urban land in order to fragment the space with private condominiums segregating local resident population to outlying areas of the city, away from the coastline and lacking infrastructure and basic urban services
