Gallina, Daniel Brandelli January 2007 (has links)
As organizações estão mais suscetíveis às mudanças e impactos do meio ambiente, e a necessidade de ações e novas formas de gerenciar é fruto das transformações que ocorreram e estão ocorrendo na última década. Os processos de negócio dentro desse cenário devem ser monitorados continuamente, e através da metodologia de Gerenciamento de Processos de Negócio é possível o controle dos processos, proporcionando iniciativas e ações que busquem integração, colaboração e automação. O processo de desenvolvimento de produtos, por ser um processo-chave para a organização, foi selecionado para pesquisa a fim de que a mesma pudesse buscar métodos ou metodologias para a melhoria do processo, visando oferecer respostas rápidas e eficientes como o mercado espera. Nesse sentido, o principal questionamento que surgiu foi qual o ciclo de processo gerenciado de desenvolvimento de produtos que mais se alinha aos objetivos estratégicos da organização, e como esse gerenciamento pode influenciar o processo no estabelecimento de metas e ações de melhoria contínua. Para responder a este questionamento, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo principal desenvolver um modelo aplicado de gerenciamento do processo de desenvolvimento de uma determinada linha de produto alinhado aos objetivos estratégicos, em uma indústria eletroeletrônica. Para tanto, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa de caráter exploratório em um único estudo de caso em uma indústria eletroeletrônica multinacional. O método de pesquisaação foi utilizado e combinado com uma específica metodologia de gerenciamento de processos de negócio, o qual permite descrever cada uma das fases da pesquisa ocorridas durante o redesenho do processo de desenvolvimento de novos produtos para o modelo de processo gerenciado e otimizado. Ao final da realização da pesquisa-ação, obteve-se o modelo aplicado para o gerenciamento do processo de desenvolvimento de produtos alinhados aos objetivos estratégicos da organização. As principais contribuições para a organização ficam por conta da criação de um novo processo de desenvolvimento de produto revisado, modificado, e monitorado. O processo foi alinhado aos indicadores estratégicos do balanced scorecard da organização, e os índices de maturidade de cada macroprocesso foram medidos antes e após as modificações realizadas. Para a academia, o uso do método de pesquisa-ação bem aplicado combinado com um modelo conceitual robusto e consolidado e a integração entre as metodologias do BPM, do Balanced Scorecard e dos modelos de maturidade foram as principais contribuições da presente pesquisa. / Companies are more susceptible for changes and impacts from environment and the necessity of actions and new ways to manage is one result of transformations that occurred and occurring in the last decade. Inside of this context business process should be monitoring continuously, and through the methodology of Business Process Management (BPM) is possible to control the process, providing initiatives and actions for integration, collaboration and automation. Product development process, as a keyprocess for the organization, was selected for research to found methods and methodologies for process improvement, to offer fast and efficient answers as market waits.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissert Julia Muniz Madaleno.pdf: 3997381 bytes, checksum: e9c6b167d97e1ac038626684cc7f90da (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-11-16 / O sucesso da organização está diretamente ligado a um adequado sistema de gestão, o qual deve possibilitar a avaliação dos resultados e a sua comparação com os objetivos estratégicos previamente determinados. A importância da conexão entre estratégia e operação e as vantagens oriundas da adoção do BSC já é bastante reportada na literatura, no entanto a utilização de um sistema de medição de desempenho que reflita a adequada implementação da estratégia e que sirva como suporte no processo decisório ainda é uma deficiência na gestão das organizações, sobretudo no setor de saúde. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo propor um modelo de sistema de medição de indicadores que auxilie na comunicação da estratégia de uma organização da área da saúde, tomando como base a metodologia Balanced Scorecard. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como aplicada e intervencionista quanto aos fins e quanto aos meios trata-se de uma pesquisa-ação, bibliográfica, documental e estudo de caso. O modelo, por meio de algumas etapas, propõe a construção de um painel de bordo e a definição de uma lista de indicadores a serem mensurados por cada setor. A estruturação do sistema de medição considerou os objetivos estratégicos da organização e um referencial de benchmarking de indicadores construído através de busca em diferentes fontes (literatura, hospitais da rede, legislação, site de hospitais, programas de indicadores hospitalares). O objeto de estudo foi um hospital privado do Rio de janeiro. O resultado da aplicação do modelo proposto foi um sistema de medição mais estruturado e alinhado aos objetivos estratégicos da organização. A visão sistêmica proporcionada pelo desenvolvimento do modelo propiciou melhora na análise dos resultados gerando ações mais assertivas para o alcance das metas propostas. / The organization's success is directly connected to an appropriate management system, which should enable the evaluation of results and their comparison with the strategic objectives previously determined. The importance of the connection between strategy and operation, and the advantages arising from the adoption of the BSC is already reported in the literature, however the use of a performance measurement system that reflects the proper implementation of the strategy and to serve as support in decision making is still a deficiency in the management of organizations, especially in the health sector. This paper aims to propose an indicator measuring system model to assist the strategy communicating an organization's health, based on the Balanced Scorecard methodology. The research is characterized as to the purposes and applied as interventionist and as the means is a study of action research, bibliographies, documents and case. The model, through a few steps, proposes the construction of a dashboard and the definition of a list of indicators to be measured by each sector. The structure of the measuring system considered the organization's strategic goals and a benchmarking framework of indicators built by searching different sources (literature, network hospitals, legislation, site of hospitals, hospital indicators programs). The study object is a private hospital in Rio de Janeiro. The result of the application of the proposed model was a measurement system more structured and aligned to the strategic objectives of the organization. The system view provided by the model of development led improves the analysis of the results generating more assertive actions to achieve the proposed targets.

Balanserade styrkort i banker på den svenska marknaden / The balanced Scorecard in banks on the Swedish market

Bjelkengren, Johan, Lönnqvist, Sofia January 2011 (has links)
Bakgrund: Under 80- och 90-talet startade en debatt om den ekonomiska styrningen där styrning efter finansiella nyckeltal kritiserades. Att enbart styra ett företag efter finansiella nyckeltal ansågs inte enligt kritiker förbättra områden som kundnöjdhet, innovation, kvalitet, cykeltid samt motivation hos medarbetare. Balanserade styrkort används som ett redskap för planering och uppföljning. Ett styrkorts främsta syfte är att översätta strategiska mål och visioner till ett antal sammanhängande prestationsmått. Dessa mått delas in i olika perspektiv som vanligtvis är finansiella, kundfokuserade, processfokuserade och innovationsfokuserade. Majoriteten av de största bankerna som är verksamma i Sverige använder balanserade styrkort. I bankverksamhet är en av de viktigaste parametrarna kundservice, eftersom att banker är en form av tjänsteorganisationer. I och med en hårdnad konkurrens på bankmarknaden finns det höga krav på den interna styrningen för att banker ska kunna behålla sin befintliga kundstock och utöka den. Med detta som bakgrund är det intressant att se på hur de olika styrkorten skiljer sig mellan bankerna och om det går att utskilja typiska nyckeltal/mått och perspektiv som är specifika för bankbranschen. Syfte: Är att beskriva utformning och användning av balanserade styrkort i de största bankerna på den svenska marknaden samt att utveckla ett förslag på ett generellt styrkort för banker verksamma i Sverige. Metod: En kvalitativ metod med intervjuer har använts. Resultat &amp; Slutsats: Balanserade styrkort används i planeringssyfte och som ett kommunikationsverktyg. De viktigaste perspektiven i bankernas balanserade styrkort är det finansiella perspektivet, kundperspektivet samt ett medarbetarperspektiv. / Background: Between 1980 and 1990 there was an ongoing debate about internal management in companies. Management solely based on financial indicators was criticized because it didn’t allow for improvements in customer satisfaction, innovation, product/service quality and more. The balanced scorecard can be used as a tool for planning and follow-up. The main purpose of the balanced scorecard is to translate an organizations strategic goal and vision to a set of performance measures. These measures are organized into different perspectives, these are usually a financial perspective, a customer focused perspective, an internal process perspective and an innovation perspective. The majority of the largest banks in Sweden use a balanced scorecard. One of the most important things for success in the banking industry is to have satisfied customers. The importance of customer satisfaction put pressure on the internal management as banks wants to keep their existing customer base and also expand it. Therefore it’s interesting to see if a typical balanced scorecard for Swedish banks exists. Aim: The aim for this study is to describe the design and usage of the balanced scorecard in the largest Swedish banks. Further we want to develop a typical scorecard for Swedish banks. Method: Qualitative methods with interviews have been applied. Results &amp; Conclusion: The balanced scorecard is used as a planning tool, a tool for communication. The most important parts of the balanced scorecard in Swedish banking are the financial perspective, the customer perspective and the employee perspective.
