Understanding development of dynamic capabilities in industrialized house building : A case study

Uusitalo, Petri January 2018 (has links)
Industrialized house building of multi-storey residential buildings is not only gaining practical importance in Sweden but is also emphasized as a way for companies to address the demands for lower and more predictable production costs, shorter delivery times and higher product quality. However, to be competitive on the market, IHB companies need to protect and capitalize their specific investments into platforms and organizations. The engagement inplatforms and industrialized way of working, it is not just about the complexity of integration but it is also about having a capability over time to handle this market variation (i.e. dynamic capabilities). Industrialized house building has mainly been investigated from an operational view, leaving a gap in the characterization from a strategical (dynamic) view. Purpose of this research is to increase understanding about industrialized house building, from a dynamic capability view, described the characteristics of industrialized house building through exploring and describing the evolution and development of and industrialized house building company. An in-depth, longitudinal case study approach was adopted to get and deeper understanding of the development of dynamic capabilities in an industrialized house building company. The unit of analysis was the long-term interaction between house-market development, the case company’s business development, and external collaboration activities between the years 1993 and 2018. The findings from the case study were then analyzed against a theoretical framework based on dynamic capabilities. Industrialized house building can be characterized by a set of dynamic capabilities constructs that are evolved and developed in order to cope with the changing conditions derived from both internal and external factors, entailed in entrepreneurship and long-term thinking. The findings indicate that the organization's focus may vary between different kinds of dynamic capabilities over-time. In addition, findings indicate that development of dynamic capabilities supporting collaboration and building trust to the market was of importance at the beginning of their journey. These dynamic capabilities evolved in close relations with external partners, due to external market pressure. This study also indicates that path dependency affects the development of dynamic capability, through collaboration, trust, and learning – which influence how the company behaves and through their investments in a platform constraining future actions.

Characterizing Virtual Prototype Constructability Programming for the Pictographic Instruction of Procedure

Johnston, Brendan Ashley 03 December 2012 (has links)
The modern design-construction boundary is facing an unprecedented moment of evaluation. Global applications of building information modeling, including virtual prototyping, factory-based component procurement and industrialized site production are only a few of the forces that threaten to engulf the established façades of architecture, engineering and construction practice. Those professional identities that are unable or unwilling to reach deeply into this oncoming torrent of interoperability, integrated delivery, and infinite domains will be lost. It is even possible that the language of building culture will be washed away forever. Preparations should be made. This research proposes to strengthen available built-project communications. It does so by examining the natural architectonic relationships which exists at the most primitive level of production — about the assembly task. A work and its procedures are investigated through the programming interface of a Virtual Prototype (VP) modeling system. With visualized constructability as its goal, this study highlights the character of VP programming as it translates between design and production information with digital specificity. The results of that investigation fashion a test of a new production communications language with the potential to enrich and refresh the insulate expressions and hollow specification of traditional design communications. / Ph.

Avaliação dos teores de ácidos graxos em alimentos comercializados na cidade de São Paulo / Evaluation of the levels of trans fatty acids in foods marketed in Sao Paulo

Bottan, Tatiane 13 July 2010 (has links)
Os ácidos graxos (AGs) trans foram largamente utilizados pela indústria de alimentos. Entretanto, seu consumo tem sido associado a problemas de saúde, principalmente ao aumento do risco para doenças coronarianas. No Brasil, desde 2006, o conteúdo de gorduras trans obrigatoriamente precisa ser informado nos rótulos dos alimentos industrializados. Aparentemente, isso fez surgir diversos produtos que declaram não conter gorduras trans e que tradicionalmente os continham em grandes concentrações. Dessa forma, o objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a oferta atual desses alimentos. Para tanto, a proporção de alimentos que declaravam conter 0g de gordura trans foi avaliada, verificando variações conforme a localização do estabelecimento de venda dentro da cidade de São Paulo. Também foi realizada a comparação da composição declarada e preço dos alimentos que declaram conter 0g de AGs trans com os demais. Além disso, foram analisados alguns produtos para verificar se a informação com relação ao conteúdo de AG é confiável e se está em conformidade com a legislação. A pesquisa foi realizada nas categorias biscoito doce simples, biscoito recheado, wafer, cream cracker e biscoito de polvilho através de pesquisa em supermercados. A quantificação dos AG nas amostras foi realizada por cromatografia gasosa e os resultados foram comparados com as informações contidas nos rótulos. Dos 498 diferentes produtos encontrados nos supermercados visitados, 68,9 por cento foram de alimentos que informavam não conter gorduras trans. Não foram observadas diferenças na oferta entre as regiões da cidade, entretanto, os produtos que informavam não conter gorduras trans possuem um preço mais elevado que os demais (p<0,001). Nove produtos foram analisados e a quantidade média de gordura trans por porção encontrada foi de 0,18 (±0,29). Dentre os produtos analisados, dois deles não poderiam declarar não conter gordura trans, pois continham mais do que 0,2 g por porção, considerando-se a variação permitida pela legislação de ±20 por cento. Os resultados sugerem que a obrigatoriedade em informar a quantidade de gordura trans nos rótulos proporcionou uma oferta ampla e bem distribuída de alimentos afirmam não conter esse tipo de gordura, no entanto, tais alimentos são menos acessíveis por possuírem um preço mais elevado. Além disso, com nem sempre as informações disponíveis nos rótulos são confiáveis, existe a necessidade de maior fiscalização por parte do poder público / Trans fatty acids (FA) were extensively used by food industry. However, the consumption of this type of FA has been associated with health problems, especially with increased risk for heart diseases. Since July, 2006, Brazilian regulation has imposed that industrialized food labels must express trans fat content. This apparently contributed to several products known for having large amounts of trans fat which now declare does not contain trans fat. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the supply of food products that claim to be trans fat-free, checking possible variations according to the sales spots, and comparing their composition and price to those of other food products in order to verify if such claims are reliable and comply with the law. The supply of the following products was evaluated supermarkets of Sao Paulo: sweet biscuit, sandwich biscuit, wafer, cream cracker and tapioca flour biscuit. The comparison between the products was based on the information on the labels. The quantification of trans FA in some of these foods was carried by gas chromatography and the results were compared with the information from labels. Were found 498 different products in the six supermarkets visited and 68.9 per cent of them were products that declare the absence of trans FA. There were no differences in terms of supply among regions of the city. However, the products that claim to be trans fat-free had a higher price than the others in all categories (p <0.001). No increase in the amount of saturated fat was found. In the nine products analyzed by gas chromatography the average amount of trans fat per serving was 0.18 (±0.29). Two of the products tested should not claim to be trans fat-free because they contained more than 0.2 g per serving, taking into account the acceptable variation of ±20 per cent. The results suggest that the mandatory declaration of trans fat content on labels led to a wide and well distributed supply of products that declare do not contain this kind of fat. However, these products are less accessible because they are more expensive. Furthermore, available information on the labels is not always reliable, which indicates the need to supervise such information

"Estimativa da ingestão de sulfitos por escolares pela análise qualitativa da dieta" / "Estimate of the ingestion of sulphites for students by the qualitative analysis of diet"

Popolim, Welliton Donizeti 30 August 2004 (has links)
Os sulfitos, representados pelo SO2, fazem parte de um importante grupo de aditivos utilizados, há séculos, como conservantes em frutas secas, sucos de frutas, vinhos. No Brasil não existem dados sobre sua utilização pelas indústrias de alimentos e pesquisas sobre o seu consumo pela população. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi estimar a ingestão de sulfitos em dois grupos de alunos do ensino médio, respectivamente de escola particular e pública. Os dados foram coletados por meio de R24, que permitiu relacionar as fontes de sulfitos presentes na dieta. Para o cálculo do consumo deste aditivo foi utilizado o MPL, definido pela legislação brasileira para cada uma das fontes. Nenhum dos escolares ultrapassou a IDA de 0,70 mg SO2/kg pc/dia, com média de consumo de 0,07 mg SO2/kg pc/dia (p<0,001), sem diferença estatisticamente significante (p = 0,643) entre as escolas particular e pública. Os grandes consumidores (consumo de mais de 50% da IDA, ou seja, 0,35 mg SO2/kg pc/dia, até o limite 0,52 mg SO2/kg pc/dia) representaram 4,5% da amostra pesquisada e alcançaram estes níveis de ingestão devido ao consumo acima de 500 mL/dia de sucos industrializados e similares, e, na escola particular, por associar ao seu consumo bebidas alcoólicas, como cerveja e vinho. / The sulphites, represented for the SO2, are part of an important group of additives, have used for centuries as preservatives in dry fruits, fruit juices, wines. In Brazil there are no data on use of sulphites by the food industry and research on their consumption by population. Thus, the objective of this research was to estimate the ingestion of sulphites in two groups of high school students, one of privative school and another of public school. The data were collected through 24-hour dietary recall, that allowed to relate the sources of sulphites in the diet. For calculation of the consumption of this additive the MPL, stabilished by the Brazilian legislation was used for each sources. None of students exceeded the ADI of 0.70 mg SO2/kg bw/day, with average of consumption of 0.07 mg SO2/kg bw/day (p < 0.001), without statistical difference (p = 0.643) between privative and public school. Heavy consumers (consumption of more than 50% of the ADI, or either, 0.35 mg SO2/kg bw/day, until 0.52 mg SO2/kg bw/dia) represented 4.5% of the searched sample and reached these levels of ingestion due to the consumption above 500 mL/day of fruit industrialized juices, and, in privative school, for associating with its consumption alcoholic beverages, as beer and wine.

Avaliação de estratégias de comunicação e da memória visual na embalagem de alimentos processados dirigidos ao público infantil / Evaluation of communication strategies and visual memory of packaging of processed foods targeted to children

Geraldo, Ana Paula Gines 19 August 2010 (has links)
INTRODUÇÃO. A indústria pode estimular o consumo de grande variedade de alimentos de alta densidade energética por meio do marketing, tendo participação decisiva na formação dos hábitos alimentares das crianças. Pouco se conhece sobre a memória da criança em relação às embalagens de alimentos industrializados dirigidos para esse público. OBJETIVO. Descrever o conteúdo de comunicação das embalagens de salgadinho e biscoito doce recheado utilizado como estratégia de marketing, a memória visual de crianças em relação à embalagem desses produtos e relacioná-las ao estado nutricional, ano escolar, sexo, freqüência de consumo de salgadinho e biscoito recheado e freqüência de ida ao supermercado. MÉTODOS. A avaliação da memória visual foi realizada pela técnica de desenho com 152 alunos matriculados no ensino fundamental I de uma escola da rede privada da cidade de Taubaté, São Paulo. Foram coletados os dados antropométricos e calculado o IMC e dados de freqüência de ida ao supermercado e de freqüência de consumo de salgadinho e bolacha doce recheada. Através dos desenhos foram identificadas as marcas citadas pelos alunos e categorizados os componentes de marketing presentes nas embalagens. Foram calculadas a freqüência de cada componente do desenho e realizado o teste qui-quadrado para analisar a sua relação com as variáveis em estudo. RESULTADOS. Em relação à memória visual das embalagens de salgadinho, os componentes que apareceram com maior freqüência nos desenhos foram marca (54,6 por cento), imagem do produto (45,4 por cento) e personagem (27,0 por cento) e as cores mais utilizadas foram vermelho (36,8 por cento), azul (30,3 por cento) e amarelo (22,4 por cento). Para o biscoito doce recheado apareceram com maior freqüência marca (62,5 por cento), personagem (30,9 por cento), imagem do biscoito (25,0 por cento) e sabor (15,8 por cento) e as cores mais utilizadas foram azul (36,8 por cento) e marrom (26,3 por cento). As cores identificadas pelas crianças, tanto para salgadinho, como para biscoito recheado condizem com os produtos comercializados. Todas as embalagens de salgadinho apresentavam a imagem do produto e 53,8 por cento possuíam o personagem que representa a marca, para o biscoito, em 54,5 por cento das embalagens havia presença de personagem. As crianças do sexo feminino se lembraram mais da imagem do salgadinho (p= 0,016) e dos personagens na embalagem da biscoito recheado (p= 0,04). Não foram observadas diferenças estatísticas significativas entre a lembrança dos componentes da embalagem e o estado nutricional e freqüência de ida ao supermercado e freqüência de consumo dos alimentos. CONCLUSÃO. Os elementos presentes nas embalagens ficam igualmente consolidados na memória das crianças independente do estado nutricional e freqüência de ida ao supermercado e freqüência de consumo dos alimentos / INTRODUCTION. The industry can estimulate the consumption of a variety of foods with high energy density through marketing, with substantial involvement on the shaping of childrens eating habits. Little is known about the child\'s memory in relation to the packaging of foods targeted to this audience. OBJECTIVE. To describe the communication contents of the packages of savoury snacks and sandwich cookies used as a marketing strategy, the visual memory of children regarding to the packaging of these products and to relate them with nutritional status, school grade, gender, frequency of savoury snack and sandwich cookie intake and frequency of visits to the supermarket. METHODS. The assessment of visual memory was performed using the drawing technique with 152 students enrolled in elementary school from a private school in the city of Taubaté, São Paulo. Anthropometric measures and frequency of visits to the supermarket and frequency of savoury snack and sandwich cookie data were collected and the BMI calculated. Through the drawings the brands mentioned by the students were identified and the marketing components were categorized. The frequency of each component of the drawing was calculated and the chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between each component with the variables studied. RESULTS. Regarding the visual memory of savoury snacks packaging, the components that appeared most frequently in drawings were brand (54.6 per cent), the image of the product reproduced on the package (45.4 per cent) and character (27.0 per cent) and the colors used were red (36.8 per cent), blue (30.3 per cent) and yellow (22.4 per cent). For the sandwich cookies appeared more frequently brand (62.5 per cent), character (30.9 per cent), the image of the product reproduced on the package (25.0 per cent) and taste (15.8 per cent) and the colors used were blue (36 8 per cent), brown (26.3 per cent). The colors identified by the children, both for savoury snacks and sandwich cookies are similar to those found on the packages available in the market. All packages of savoury snacks had the product image and 53,8 per cent had a character that represents the brand, while 54,5 per cent packages of sandwich cookies had a character. The female children remembered more of the savoury snacks reproduced on the package (p = 0.016) and the characters in the drawing of the sandwich cookies package (p = 0.04). There were no statistically significant differences between the memory of the components of the package and the nutritional status and frequency of visits to the supermarket. CONCLUSION. The elements present in the package are equally consolidated in the memory of children regardless of nutritional status, frequency of visits to the supermarket and frequency of sandwich cookie and savoury snack intake
