Aquesta tesi doctoral presenta una proposta metodològica per millorar la competitivitat de les petites i mitjanes empreses veneçolanes (PYMEV) mitjançant la millora de la seva capacitat de gestió. Per això, primer s'ha realitzat una extensa revisió de la literatura sobre models d'excel¿lència organitzacional, de qualitat total, de qualitat de gestió, i sobre altres disciplines relacionades amb la investigació. En paral¿lel s'analitzen les empreses a Veneçuela, en particular les PYMEV, i el seu nivell i model de gestió. D'aquesta manera s'ha pogut diagnosticar els reptes i amenaces a què s'enfronten les PYMEV, les causes relacionades amb la seva capacitat i model de gestió, i les oportunitats que els models d'excel¿lència organitzacional poden suposar per a les PYMEV. A continuació s'ha proposat una metodologia basada en el desenvolupament d'un model de gestió: el Manual FIM model 1: Aquesta metodologia comprèn la descripció del model, de les seves àrees funcionals, la manera de ponderar i la descripció de la metodologia d'aplicació del model tant per al diagnòstic com per al pla de millora. La metodologia s'ha aplicat a un ampli rang de PYMEV, aprofitant l'experiència per millorar-la en els aspectes no conformes amb la qualitat exigida. L'autor va poder participar o coordinar l'ús del manual FIM en diversos programes d'assistència tècnica per a la millora de la capacitat de gestió a les PYMEV, executant 726 aplicacions al llarg de deu anys. Del total, s'analitzen 626 aplicacions de diagnòstic de qualitat de gestió a PYMEV, a les quals se'ls va aplicar el Manual FIM model 1. I d'aquestes, 492 van estar en programes que van incloure diagnòstic i plans de millora amb un diagnòstic ex Post. En aquest segon grup es mostren resultats i impactes. També s'analitza la satisfacció dels experts, precisant més els elements d'ajust que es van abordar per la seva actualització i millora. La tesi acaba amb una proposta d'evolució de la metodologia existent. Entre altres, aquestes millores inclouen, primer, normalitzar la metodologia amb un cicle "Planificar-Fer-Comprovar-Actuar" (cicle PDCA per les seves sigles en anglès). A més es proposa revisar les àrees funcionals i les seves sub-àrees, també la seva ponderació, la incorporació d'una àrea de "RSE", i afegir un àrea de "Resultats". / Rodríguez Sánchez, FJ. (2013).

La gestion des connaissances, fortement facilitée par l’introduction des TIC, est perçue au niveau de l’organisation comme un moyen de gérer au mieux son capital intellectuel. La connaissance étant devenue à la fois un support et un facteur important du changement organisationnel, l’intérêt des TIC se situe dans la possibilité de générer une importante base de connaissances interactive et facilement accessible et exploitable par les utilisateurs. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons d’étudier l’adoption de la gestion des connaissances comme une nouvelle approche pour la gestion des organisations en Algérie. Nous orientons notre problématique vers la création de valeur organisationnelle, qui a pour conséquence l’amélioration de la performance. La spécificité de notre objet de recherche est abordée à travers une méthodologie qualitative. L’originalité de ce travail se trouve dans la prise en compte de deux niveaux d’analyse : le niveau global et le niveau des organisations. Pour étudier le niveau global, nous nous inscrivons dans une démarche de compréhension de l’application d’une stratégie de gestion des connaissances à un projet de gouvernance électronique en Algérie. Le niveau des organisations est étudié à travers une étude de cas multiple destinée à rechercher des régularités, des divergences et des convergences entre les éléments des différents cas étudiés. L’objectif de cette recherche, qui s’inscrit dans un cadre d’analyse multidimensionnel et reste essentiellement exploratoire, est de comprendre etd’expliquer les relations qualitatives qui régissent le phénomène que nous étudions. / Knowledge management, which is very simplified by the IT introduction, is seen in the organisation as a means for the best management of the intellectual capital. As knowledge has become both a support and an important factor of the organisational change, the IT’s interest lies in the capacity of generating an important interactive base of knowledge which is easy to access and to exploit. In this thesis, we study the adoption of knowledge management as a new approach for the management of organisations in Algeria. Our problematic is turned towards the organisational value creation, which results in performance improvement. The specificity of our research’s object is dealt through a qualitative methodology. The originality of this work is to take into account two analysis levels: the global level and the organisations level. To study the global level, we lead an approach to understanding the application of a strategy of knowledge management in an electronic governance project in Algeria. We study the organisations level through a multi-case study, to look for regularities, divergences and convergences between the elements of the different studied cases. The objective of this research, which is essentially exploratory, lies within the framework multidimensional analysis to understand and explain the qualitative relations which characterize the phenomenon we are studying.

A l’image des grands groupes, les PME souhaitent, elles aussi, profiter des méthodes modernes de management pour améliorer leurs processus, leurs performances et leur compétitivité. L’intérêt du secteur des PME se porte sur les éléments du concept Lean Six Sigma qui leur semblent appropriés pour réaliser ces objectifs. Après avoir constaté une lacune dans les recherches sur ce sujet et une lacune méthodologique concernant l’implémentation du LSS dans les PME, nous proposons une méthodologie de conception, d’application et de contrôle du LSS pour ces PME, que nous avons appelée LSS Plutus. Elle est dédiée aux PME de la production et elle prend en compte leur spécificité. Dans ce but, nous avons restreint la boîte à outils traditionnelle du LSS utilisée dans les grands groupes. Nous avons également créé deux variantes pour mettre en œuvre notre méthodologie qui correspondent aux besoins, capacités et maturités différents des PME. Nous avons élaboré des indicateurs, des outils, ainsi qu’un guide d’application de la méthode LSS pour les PME de la production et sa version informatique en TIBCO. Nous avons décidé de renforcer l’efficience des améliorations, en déployant les actions de planification, de standardisation et de pérennisation des changements. Dans ce but, nous proposons de modifier les critères du Modèle d’Excellence E.F.Q.M. pour qu’elles puissent prendre en compte les conditions de fonctionnement de la méthode LSS dans les PME. La méthodologie proposée a été vérifiée dans deux PME de la production en Pologne et en France, ce qui a confirmé son utilité et son efficacité en termes d’amélioration des performances et de développement des organisations / As well as the large companies, also the small and medium-sized enterprises desire to take advantage of modern management methods to improve their process, their performances and competitiveness. The interest of the SMEs is focused on the elements of the Lean Six Sigma concept that seem to be appropriate to achieve these goals. As we have identified a gap in the research on this topic and a methodological gap about the LSS implementation in the small and medium companies, we propose a methodology that we called LSS Plutus to design, apply and control Lean Six Sigma in the SMEs. It is dedicated to the small and medium production enterprises and it takes into account their specificity. For this purpose, we have limited the traditional LSS toolbox used by the large companies. We have also created two variants to apply our methodology according to the different needs, capacities and maturities of the SMEs. We have developed indicators, tools, as well as a practical guide for applying the LSS for the production SMEs and its computerized version in TIBCO. To enhance the efficiency of the improvements, we have deployed the planning, standardization and sustainability of the changes. For this purpose, we propose to modify the criteria of the EFQM Excellence Model in order to adapt it to the operating conditions of the Lean Six Sigma method in the SMEs. The proposed methodology has been verified in two production SMEs in Poland and in France that confirmed its utility and effectiveness in terms of performance improvement and organizational development
