Employee perceptions of the relationship between recruitment and selection processes and organisational productivity at a university in the Western Cape province of South AfricaKanyemba, Marta Hambelela January 2014 (has links)
Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree
Master of Technology: Human Resource Management
in the Faculty of Business
at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology / This research examines staff perceptions of the recruitment and selection processes in a tertiary education setting in South Africa. It aims to determine if there is a correlation between these perceptions and the productivity of staff. The benefit of this research lies in the fact that tertiary education institutions are at the last rung of the ladder of any nation’s human capacity development initiatives. Thus, if the processes by which they recruit and select their staff are perceived to be flawed, the consequences in the fulfilment of their afore-mentioned mandate would be compromised.
There are many tertiary educational institutions in the Western Cape province of South Africa. These include traditional universities, comprehensive universities, a university of technology and FET colleges. This study focuses on one particular tertiary institution in the Western Cape. Due to the position taken by the institute in the current study on privacy issues, the said institution will be referred to as “Institution X”.
The research adopted a quantitative data collection and analysis approach because it was deemed to be the most effective, objective and unobtrusive in the circumstance. Data was collected from the population of academic and non-academic staff of an identified faculty within a campus of the institution. The population of this study was 370 staff and the actual sample size represented 30% of the population. Unfortunately the final actual sample size was 106 and not 111 as originally planned. The sample technique that was used for this study was a systematic sample. Therefore, every tenth name on the list that represented the population was selected. The data collection instrument was a researcher-developed, self-administered questionnaire (a Likert-type attitude scale).
Ethical clearance was obtained from the institution. Furthermore, a clear statement of informed consent was contained in the questionnaire that was distributed to participants, in addition to clear instructions on how to complete the questionnaire with assurances of strict anonymity and confidentiality of the process.
The research revealed that there is a relationship between employee perceptions of recruitment and selection and organisational productivity. Further studies can be initiated to investigate what strategies may be used for recruitment and selection in order to increase productivity, ways in which tertiary educational institutions can increase productivity using recruitment and selection processes and identify challenges and benefits of recruitment and selection processes with regard to productivity. Further studies can also evaluate the impact of recruitment and selection processes on an institution of higher learning.

Previous issue date: 2005 / Resumo: O uso das Boas Práticas de Fabricação produz melhorias nos produtos farmacêuticos quanto à conformidade com exigências legais, nacionais e internacionais, mas podem influenciar também no aumento da complexidade, criando compartimentação ou barreiras ao fluxo dos processos e, conseqüentemente, na efetividade da Manufatura Farmacêutica. A diretriz operacional baseada na função busca o melhor desempenho do departamento ou da área apresentando resultados fora do contexto organizacional ou do sistema. Por sua vez a diretriz operacional baseada nos processos leva em consideração o contexto nos quais os resultados são obtidos e desvenda as relações causais entre várias atividades, ressaltando os pontos fracos e fortes da cadeia de agregação de valor. A Indústria Farmacêutica é um exemplo de compartimentação de atividades, devido ao grande número de validações e procedimentos relacionados a estabelecer o que se faz exatamente em cada área. As Boas Práticas de Fabricação podem contribuir para criar barreiras entre funções, prejudicando a identificação do que realmente agrega valor. A questão básica do trabalho será mostrar como identificar estas barreiras ampliando o conceito de qualidade também para os processos da Manufatura Farmacêutica / Abstract: The use of Good Manufacturing Practices makes improvements in the pharmaceutical products, concerning national and international legal requirement, but it can also influence the increase of complexity, promoting compartments or barriers to the process flow and, therefore, to the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing effectiveness. The operational practice based on the functions searches the best area or department performance, presenting the results out of the organizational or system context. The operational practice based on the processes, in its turn, takes into account the context in which the results are acquired, and opens up the casual relations among several activities, outlining the weak and the strong points of the value added chain. The Pharmaceutical Industry is an example of activities in compartments due to the high number of validations and procedures establishing exactly what to do in each area. The Good Manufacturing Practices can contribute in the creation of barriers between functions, making it harder to identify what really adds value. The bottom-line of the paper will be to show how to identify these barriers, also to increase the quality concept to the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing processes / Mestrado / Gestão da Qualidade Total / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

Previous issue date: 1998 / Resumo: O crescente avanço tecnológico condicionou as empresas utilizarem recursos cada vez mais elaborados e as fábricas foram integradas em redes de computadores, aumentando em muito a velocidade do fluxo de informações sobre o sistema produtivo. A fábrica ganhou, portanto, um perfil orgânico, integrado e bastante flexível,com capacidade de produzir elevada variedade de produtos mesmo em pequenas quantidades, ou seja, a fábrica tomou-se um exemplo de agilidade e versatilidade. No entanto, observa-se também um rápido e acentuado aumento da concorrência, com a empresa passando a competir em um mercado globalizado em que pequenas vantagens competitivas são fundamentais para garantir seu futuro no mercado em que atua. Esta concorrência acirrada juntamente com o ambiente em constantes mudanças forçam os empresários a buscarem o máximo de informações a respeito do processo e da organização como um todo. É neste sentido que aumenta o interesse, tanto na indústria quanto na área acadêmica, por indicadores capazes de refletir o nível de organização das empresas, o grau de automação das atividades, bem como os níveis de flexibilidade dos sistemas de manufatura. O presente estudo apresenta dez diferentes métodos de indicadores de desempenho e flexibilidade e compara suas características e aplicabilidade no ambiente real, como por exemplo, na análise do fluxo de materiais em uma célula de manufatura, no gerenciamento do chão de fábrica ou na administração geral de empresas, segundo a concepção específica para a qual foi criado. Serão abordados itens como fator característico do processo e teoria da medição da flexibilidade,contando com suporte bibliográfico, além de um estudo de caso em empresas da região de Campinas / Abstract: The growing technological progressoconditioned the companies to use resources more and more elaborated. The factories have been integrated in nets of computers, increasing drastically the speed of the flow of information on the productive system. Therefore, factories has delivered an organic, integrated and quite flexible profile, with capacity of producing high variety of products even in small quantities, that is to say, factory became example of agility and versatility. However, it is also observed a fast and accentuated increase of the in a global market environrnent. Small competitive advantages are now fundamental to guarantee companies' future in the market place. This fiery competition together with constant changes have forced the managers to seek for obtaining maximum information of the process and the organization as a whole. In this sense, there is a growly interest, either industrial or academic in developing indicators capable of reflecting the stage of company organization, the degree of automation as well as the leveI of flexibilityof the manufacturing systems. The present study presents ten methods of automation indicators and compare their ability and application in case studies tfee the real environrnent,in the analysisof the flow of materials in a manufacturing cell, in the management of the shop floor or in the general administration of companies, according to the specific conception for which was created. Furthense, characteristic factor of the process and the theory of the flexibility assessment will be approached, supported by references in addition to a case study / Mestrado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

Previous issue date: 2012 / Resumo: Esta dissertação se insere dentro da temática da importância da cana-de-açúcar como fonte alternativa de energia, tanto para a produção de bioetanol, como para a produção de energia elétrica e demais subprodutos. Como o Brasil é um país que está na dianteira desse processo desde os anos 1970, estimulando e potencializando suas capacidades produtivas, a questão que emerge é a possibilidade de fazer o melhor uso dos recursos produtivos no setor sucroenergético, dado que se trata de um setor estratégico pela demanda crescente por energia e exista uma pressão ambiental, econômica e geopolítica pela descoberta e uso de novas fontes de energia, alternativas ao petróleo e derivados. A partir desse problema, o foco recai sobre as unidades produtivas do setor, com o objetivo de analisar os ganhos de eficiência produtiva das mesmas dentro desse contexto de demanda aquecida. O trabalho se propõe a mensurar e analisar a produtividade total dos fatores (PTF) e seus componentes para 17 usinas da região Centro-Sul do Brasil durante o período 2001 - 2008 com base na metodologia de COELLI (1997) a partir dos dados concedidos pela Consultoria Fermentec e pela União da Indústria de Cana-de-Açúcar (UNICA). O método utilizado é a Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA), com o uso do índice de Malmquist. Uma segunda parte da análise relacionou os ganhos obtidos pelas usinas com algumas variáveis, como o tempo de contratação de consultoria, idade da usina, tamanho da usina, mix de produção, rendimento geral da destilaria e ART / Abstract: The study carried out in this thesis relates to the question of the importance of sugar cane as alternative source of energy, producing ethanol, electric power and other sub-products. Taking into consideration that Brazil is leading this process since 1970, encouraging and investing in production capacity, the concerns is about how to make the better use of productive resources of sugar cane energy sector. This sector is a promising one due to incresing demand for energy as well as the increasing demand on new sources of energy able to replace petroleum and products that are under strong pressure due to environmental, economic and geopolitical concerns in this field. From this perspective, this study focuses on the production units, seeking to analyze the yield gains in the context of high demand. The thesis looks to mensurate and analyze total factor productivity (TFP) and its components of 17 of cane sugar mill in south-central region in Brazil, between 2001 and 2008. It is adopted COELLI (1997) methodology with data granted by Fermentec Consulting and União da Indústria de Cana-de-Açúcar (UNICA) are considered. Data Envolopment Analysis (DEA) method with Malmquist index is used. A second step of analysis correlates the yield gains with other variables, such as the duration of consulting contracts, cane sugar mill time of life and size, production mix, general income generated by distillery and ART / Mestrado / Desenvolvimento Economico, Espaço e Meio Ambiente / Mestre em Desenvolvimento Econômico

Criteria for selecting project priorityEngelbrecht, Nicole 06 June 2012 (has links)
M.Ing. / A company can execute a number of different projects. Some of these projects will increase production volumes, plant efficiency or plant productivity. Others may only be projects that are executed in order to conform to legislation requirements. As such projects can broadly be placed in the following categories: • Compliance • Emergency • Operational • Strategic and • Sustainability A project needs to go through a number of steps before it is decided to finally execute the project. The first step is to place the project in the correct category. The second step is to screen the project on a high level to ensure that it meets all of the required criteria. The third phase would be to prioritise the projects. The final step would then be to decide which projects to execute. This type of staged approach determines which projects to complete and ensures that resources are not wasted unnecessarily on projects that should not be executed and that do not meet the minimum criteria.
