Logística reversa, balanced scorecard e os programas de reciclagem de recursos da USP/São Carlos e da UFSCar / Reverse Logistics, Balanced Scorecard and the Recycling Resources Programs of USP/São Carlos and UFSCarMatos, Daniel Anijar de 17 September 2007 (has links)
O objetivo precípuo deste trabalho é comparar os programas de reciclagem da USP (campus de São Carlos) e da UFSCar utilizando, como ferramentas de análise quanto ao comportamento dos objetos de estudo, os conceitos da logística reversa e do balanced scorecard. O fundamento para desenvolvimento deste trabalho é a necessidade de novos conceitos e tecnologias para avaliar e comparar o desempenho entre as organizações estudadas e, assim, promover o aprimoramento de seus ideais. O método consiste, primeiramente, em realizar a descrição dos programas envolvendo os aspectos que se relacionam aos canais de distribuição reversos dos resíduos gerados nas universidades. Em seguida, são definidas as perspectivas para a mensuração do desempenho organizacional, divididas em objetivos, indicadores e metas. Aplicaram-se esses indicadores em questionários voltados aos agentes envolvidos com os programas de reciclagem estudados. Os métodos apresentados servem de incentivo para outros programas de reciclagem em universidades do país e para programas internos de empresas preocupadas com a execução de suas estratégias, que não possua um critério de medição do desempenho de suas atividades. / The principal aim of this work is to compare the recycling programs of USP/São Carlos and UFSCar using, as analysis tools for that the behavior of the study objects, the concepts of the reverse logistics and balanced scorecard. The basis for development of this work is the necessity of new concepts and technologies to evaluate and to compare the performance among the studied organizations and then, to promote the improvement of their ideals. Firstly, the method consists in accomplishment the description of the programs involving the aspects that relate to the reverse distribution channels of the residues generated in the universities. After that, are defined the perspectives for the measurement of the organizational performance, divided in objectives, indicators and goals. Those indicators were applied in questionnaires to the agents involved with the recycling programs studied. The presented methods serve as incentive for other recycling programs in universities of the country and for internal programs of companies concerned with the execution of their strategies, however don\'t possess a criterion of performance measurement of their activities.

Relationships between social marketing strategies and school participation in environmental competitions: a case study of Collect-a-Can's annual schools competitionMathabathe, Andrew Tumishe January 2006 (has links)
The South African formal education system has undergone many changes since the formulation of the White Paper on Education and Training in 1995. These developments challenge organisations that want to run successful programmes or projects in schools to adapt their social marketing strategies. Against this background, the aim of the study was to investigate the relationships between social marketing strategies and participation of schools in environmental competitions. The goals of the research were to identify issues that have influenced schools participation in the Collect-a-Can Annual Schools Competition, identify and review social marketing strategies used by Collect-a-Can to influence participation of schools in the competition, and identify relationships between issues that influenced school participation in the competition and the Collect-a-Can’s social marketing strategies. A qualitative design that applied an interpretative case study, which focused on the Collect-a-Can’s Annual Schools Competition was used to explore these relationships. Data was generated through interviews, document analysis and a workshop. Nine respondents from nine schools and three Collect-a-Can management staff members participated in the interview process. Twenty participants from twenty schools participated in the workshop. The findings of the research revealed that there were relationships between the social marketing strategies used by Collect-a-Can and participation of schools in the competition. These relationships were found to be linked mainly to policy changes within formal education which Collect-a-Can could not respond to as a result of various reasons which included among others, the core focus of thecompany, lack of funds and a need to operate in a cost-effective way. The recommendations indicate possible areas for improvement and guidelines which could be used by Collect-a-Can for the competition without digressing from its core focus or incurring additional costs. These include a more responsive and adaptive management approach and a stronger educational orientation.

Estudo dos programas de reciclagem da USP/São Carlos e da UFSCar através da logística reversa e gestão do conhecimento / Study of the USP/São Carlos and UFSCar\'s recycling programs through the reverse logistics and knowledge managementPiassi, Leandro Martines 03 March 2008 (has links)
Este trabalho tem como principal objetivo o de comparar os programas de reciclagem de resíduos sólidos da USP campus São Carlos e da UFSCar campus São Carlos através da logística reversa e da gestão do conhecimento. A principal razão para o desenvolvimento do trabalho é identificar lacunas no fluxo de conhecimento dos programas e, de posse dos dados, sugerir melhorias nesse fluxo. O método consiste em caracterizar os programas desde sua organização até a execução do trabalho e, posteriormente, através dos dados dos questionários aplicados, identificar as possíveis lacunas no fluxo do conhecimento nos programas. As principais conclusões do presente trabalho é que ambos os programas apresentam similaridades nos processos reversos de reintrodução à cadeia produtiva dos resíduos gerados e que as lacunas existentes no fluxo de conhecimento podem prejudicar o andamento dos programas. Os métodos apresentados servem de incentivo e alerta para outros programas de reciclagem de universidades do país e para programas internos de empresas que não priorizam o gerenciamento do fluxo do conhecimento em suas instituições. / The main aim oh this work is to compare the recycling programs of USP campus São Carlos and UFSCar campus São Carlos using the concepts of the reverse logistics and knowledge management. The principal reason for the development of this work is to identify the gaps in the knowledge flow of the programs and, with the data, make suggestions to improve de knowledge flow. The method consists in characterize the programs since their organization until the work execution and, after that, with the data of the questionnaires, try to identify the gaps in the knowledge flow in the programs. The main conclusions of this work are that both programs show similarities in their reverse processes of reintroduction to the productive chain of the generated solid waste and that the gaps in the knowledge flow can be harmful to the programs. The presented methods serve as incentive and alert for other recycling programs of universities of the country and for internal programs of companies that not prioritize the management of the knowledge flow.

Green RelationshipImad, Fadel 01 May 2014 (has links)
Green Relationship is a design solution attempting to raise awareness toward the environment and reduce consumerism. Waste generation and pollution have become major concerns of many governments, municipalities, organizations and individuals around the world since they are affecting human wellbeing and the environment. As an MFA student with VCUQatar, I chose to use design to contribute in protecting the environment hoping to make a difference in life. The thesis includes a research and a design component. The research explores the recycling programs and facilities in Qatar, the governmental and private sector actions toward waste generation and collection, as well as precedent solutions applied around the world. Furthermore, it includes a survey on recycling to gather and analyze the community’s feed back in order to come up with a solution that aims to change people’s behavior toward waste generation and to promote green lifestyle. The design component defines the Green Relationship as the personal connection between the individual and the silent partner, “the environment.” It fulfills the basic survival needs, “food and water,” and the one and only independency need, “oxygen.” The elements of the Green Relationship are the projection of the generic relationships elements we know of through the theory of “Humimicing” that I introduce in my thesis. Humimicing is the design theory that mimics human innate attributes and behaviors to develop design concepts to be applied in different industries. Every element of the Green Relationship is visualized through a different design discipline similar to its nature. Therefore, interactive, product and critical designs are the mediums used to represent Green Communication, Care and Ethics respectively through public installation, experimentation and conceptual design definition. The thesis methodology, which is “Make it Personal,” concludes in creating the Green Relationship that aims to change the behavior of individuals and ultimately to reach out to the wider community. Under the maxim, “Green is not just a color; it is a Lifestyle,” the thesis promotes the use of design to inspire people, designers and manufacturers to consume less and generate less waste in order to save natural resources and the environment.
