Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This dissertation intends to analyze educational practices and the organization of working class culture, with emphasis on educational and cultural circle of the Catholic Worker of Sergipe, in the period 1935 to 1969. The Circle of Sergipe Catholic Worker is part of the process of romanization developed from the year 1910 in the diocese of Aracaju that will be reflected in the middle was proletarian in 1935. The study includes the experience of training Catholic worker, construction worker of the Catholic model. Aiming to show how did the experience of Catholic education in Sergipe proletariat from the role of the Catholic Worker Circle of Sergipe, using several sources: institutional and official documents, photographs, papers and studies related to the theme. For this, we used the categories of analysis of Norbert Elias - civilization; Roger Chartieu representations, among others. We seek to understand the political and social participation of workers under the auspices of the Catholic Church which stood in opposition to communism as a form of political awakening towards the organization of workers in Sergipe, since this action of the Catholic Church, in the middle proletarian Sergipe consolidates a new form of social participation, where Catholics and communists started fighting separately to organize workers in unions or associations. / Esta dissertação tenciona analisar as práticas educativas e a organização da cultura operária, com ênfase nas ações educativas e culturais do Círculo Operário Católico de Sergipe, no período de 1935 a 1969. O Círculo Operário Católico de Sergipe é parte do processo de romanização desenvolvido a partir do ano de 1910 na diocese de Aracaju que foi será refletido no meio proletário a partir de 1935. O estudo contempla a experiência da formação operária católica, construtora do modelo católico de trabalhador. Objetivando mostrar como aconteceu a experiência de formação católica no proletariado sergipano a partir do protagonismo do Círculo Operário Católico de Sergipe, utilizando varias fontes: documentos oficiais e institucionais, fotografias, jornais e estudos relacionados a temática. Para isso, recorreu-se as categorias de análises de Norbert Elias civilização; representações de Roger Chartieu, entre outros. Busca-se, compreender a participação política e social dos trabalhadores sob os auspícios da Igreja Católica que se mantinha em oposição ao comunismo, como forma de um despertar político rumo à organização dos trabalhadores sergipanos, já que essa ação da Igreja Católica, dentro do meio proletário sergipano consolida uma nova forma de participação social, onde Católicos e comunistas passaram a lutar separadamente para organizar os trabalhadores em entidades sindicais ou associações. .

In the present fierce global competition, poor responsiveness, low flexibility to meet the uncertainty of demand, and the low efficiency of traditional assembly lines are adequate motives to persuade manufacturers to adopt highly flexible production tools such as cross-trained workers who move along the assembly line while carrying out their planned jobs at different stations [1]. Cross-trained workers can be applied in various models in assembly lines. A novel model which taken into consideration in many industries nowadays is called the linear walking worker assembly line and employs workers who travel along the line and fully assemble the product from beginning to end [2]. However, these flexible assembly lines consistently endure imbalance in their stations which causes a significant loss in the efficiency of the lines. The operational time variability is one of the main sources of this imbalance [3] and is the focus of this study which investigated the possibility of decreasing the mentioned loss by arranging workers with different variability in a special order in walking worker assembly lines. The problem motivation comes from the literature of unbalanced lines which is focused on bowl phenomenon. Hillier and Boling [4] indicated that unbalancing a line in a bowl shape could reach the optimal production rate and called it bowl phenomenon.  This study chose a conceptual design proposed by a local automotive company as a case study and a discrete event simulation study as the research method to inspect the questions and hypotheses of this research.  The results showed an improvement of about 2.4% in the throughput due to arranging workers in a specific order, which is significant compared to the fixed line one which had 1 to 2 percent improvement. In addition, analysis of the results concluded that having the most improvement requires grouping all low skill workers together. However, the pattern of imbalance is significantly effective in this improvement concerning validity and magnitude.
