Instituto de Tecnologia em Fármacos/Farmanguinhos. Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil. / Os Ensaios Clínicos são o tipo de pesquisa considerado, atualmente, como padrão ouro da medicina baseada em evidências. Boa parte das pesquisas deste tipo conduzidas no Brasil é patrocinada por indústrias multinacionais. Contudo, apesar de o Brasil contar com centros de pesquisa preparados para conduzir os Ensaios Clínicos desenhados e patrocinados por estas indústrias, não se vê a mesma desenvoltura quando se trata de projetos institucionais nacionais, isto é, desenhados e operacionalizados por investigadores de institutos de pesquisa brasileiros. Esta carência de conhecimento em planejamento e gestão de um Ensaio Clínico torna-se crítica no momento em que o investigador se dispõe a conduzir um projeto institucional, uma vez que nestes casos, de acordo com a ANVISA, o responsável pela condução e coordenação da pesquisa é chamado de "Investigador-Patrocinador", devendo cumprir com todas as exigências atribuídas ao papel de investigador e ao papel de patrocinador. Este trabalho apresenta uma proposta de manual que poderá servir como instrumento de consulta para pesquisas conduzidas por Investigadores-Patrocinadores de Ensaios Clínicos e de guia para mapeamentos de processos e criação de ferramentas específicas para seus projetos. O manual foi elaborado após uma exaustiva pesquisa, análise documental e compilação das principais regulamentações de pesquisa clínica publicadas no país, entrevistas com Investigadores-Patrocinadores brasileiros, modelagem e validação dos processos envolvidos em um Ensaio Clínico. Este estudo apresenta descrições e ferramentas sobre as etapas e os requerimentos envolvidos na condução de um Ensaio Clínico na condição de Investigador-Patrocinador. / The Clinical Trials are, currently, the gold standard research of evidence-based medicine. Much of this type of research conducted in Brazil is sponsored by multinational industries. However, despite Brazil have research sites ready and prepared to conduct clinical trials designed and sponsored by these industries, it is not possible to see the same resourcefulness when it comes to national institutional projects, i.e., designed and operated by investigators from Brazilian research institutes. This lack of knowledge in planning and management of a clinical trial becomes critical when the investigator is willing to conduct an institutional project, since in these cases, according to ANVISA, the responsible person for conducting and coordinating the research is called "Sponsor-Investigator" and must comply with all the requirements assigned to the investigator and the sponsor. This work presents a manual proposal that could be used as a reference tool for researches conducted by "SponsorInvestigators" of Clinical Trials and as a guide for the processes mapping and creation of specific tools for their projects. The manual was prepared after extensive research, document analysis and compilation of the main regulations of clinical research published in the country, interviews with Brazilian "Sponsors-Investigators", modeling and validation of the processes involved within a clinical research. This study presents descriptions and tools on the steps and requirements involved in the conduction of a clinical trial in a Sponsor- Investigator condition.

Due to a global increase in competitiveness in manufacturing,companies strive to increase the effectiveness of their manufacturing systems. The new industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, is a consequence inmotion to aid in creating improved manufacturing systems. A common tool within Industry 4.0 is simulation, where one could simulate changes in a virtual representation of a real world system. Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is a tool that has been widely adopted within industries to test manufacturing system changes virtually before implementing them physically. However, there is a need to discover the advantages, disadvantages and barriers to the application of simulation modeling in industry, as well as how to show the value with using the technique. A case study at the global manufacturing company Atlas Copco's plant In Tierp, Sweden has been undertaken with the purpose of using DES to aid a manufacturing plant in improving a manual manufacturing system, and how this could develop the current approach to a more long-term and sustainable one. Process mapping have been used to facilitate better understanding of the system prior to simulation modeling, as a manual system proved to be difficult to map otherwise. The results of this study points to that simulation can provide advantages of that decisions regarding implementation of system improvements could have better basis for being taken, simulation can be used to test system changes virtually to prevent eventual implementation problems, and simulation can be used as a tool to generate long-term solutions. However, disadvantages and barriers were identified as resistance from management in difficulties to convince the value of using simulation, extensive modeling competency required, and lack of the right prerequisites makes simulation modeling implementation more difficult. Further research should focus on uncovering the difficulties and barriers to the implementation of simulation modeling in industry, as this was not widely discussed in existing literature.

O presente trabalho de pesquisa é uma proposta de modelo de mapeamento e gestão por macroprocessos. Também explora as ligações entre estratégia em operações, gestão por macroprocessos e cultura organizacional. Após revisão da literatura sobre esses temas, é proposto um modelo para o mapeamento dos processos organizacionais incluindo os orientados ao cliente, os de apoio e os de gestão do sistema. Ao modelo é agregada uma componente de cultura organizacional, propondo-se uma metáfora para incentivar os participantes ao trabalho em equipe. O modelo é testado contra dois relevantes referenciais de gestão, sendo o primeiro de “requisitos propostos pelas normas da família NBR ISO 9000” e o segundo de “estado da arte da gestão para a excelência do desempenho e o aumento da competitividade”. O modelo é aplicado em sete organizações dos setores industrial, de serviços e governamental. O pesquisador participa diretamente dos trabalhos de implementação do modelo. Com base nos resultados obtidos, é explorado o relacionamento entre as estratégias em operações, a cultura organizacional e a gestão por macroprocessos. Conclui-se que a existência de uma estratégia definida favorece, mas não impõe a adoção da gestão por macroprocessos. Por outro lado, a adoção da gestão por macroprocessos induz ao estabelecimento de uma estratégia ou permite sua expansão, ao mesmo tempo em que reforça a cultura organizacional para a qualidade / This research proposes a model to process mapping and process management. It also investigates the relationship between three concepts: operations strategy, process management and organizational culture. After reviewing the literature about these three concepts, we propose a new model to represent organizational processes, including those of support, of system management, in addition to those which are client oriented. A cultural component is added to the model, and a metaphor is used in order to gather people to work in teams. The proposed model is then compared to two important management models: the first is the “requirements of ISO 9000 family”, and the second is “the state of art in organizational performance management for increasing competitive goals”. To test the model, we conducted a field research that encompassed seven companies belonging to manufacturing, services and governmental fields. The researcher participated directly in the implementation of the model. Based on the results, the relationship between the three previously mentioned concepts is explored. Our conclusions are that a formalized strategy is not obligatory, but benefits the implementation of process management. On the other hand, adoption of process management can provide more power to the strategies, as well as reinforce the organizational culture for quality.

No. of bitstreams: 1 cristianobonifacioferreira.pdf: 1398932 bytes, checksum: 35fc903673f2e3fd2fe420bc51595776 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-08-25 / A presente dissertação foi desenvolvida no âmbito do Mestrado Profissional em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação Pública (PPGP) do Centro de Políticas Públicas e Avaliação da Educação da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (CAED/UFJF). Este estudo pretendeu analisar o processo de compras da Universidade Federal de Viçosa investigando possíveis fatores geradores de falhas. Nesta instituição, os pedidos de compra são lançados em um sistema informatizado e encaminhados a um órgão responsável pela abertura dos processos de licitação e pela compra centralizada. Porém, pedidos com algum tipo de falha, muitas vezes, não são percebidos por este órgão, resultando na não efetivação da compra ou na compra de itens de qualidade inferior com preços elevados, trazendo impacto nas atividades da instituição. A partir deste cenário, chega-se à pergunta norteadora desta pesquisa: por que alguns setores da universidade obtêm êxito em suas compras e outros não? Os objetivos definidos para este estudo foram: (1) Discutir o marco legal sobre as compras públicas no Brasil e apresentar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema; (2) Contextualizar a instituição que foi o objeto deste estudo e mapear o processo de compras em quatro de seus departamentos; (3) Verificar a satisfação dos setores pesquisados e do órgão responsável pelas compras com o processo de compras da instituição e (4) Propor um Plano de Ação Educacional (PAE). Para tanto, a metodologia utilizada para o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa tratou-se de um Estudo de Caso de viés qualitativo e, na pesquisa de campo, os instrumentos utilizados foram entrevistas com roteiros semiestruturados e mapeamento de processos. Na revisão bibliográfica foram consultados autores como Hermann (1999), Costa (2000), Batista e Maldonado (2008), Motta (2010) e Carvalho (2012). Diante do estudo, concluiu-se que a falta de treinamento para os servidores bem como a falta de padronização nas rotinas e as falhas de comunicação foram identificadas como as possíveis causas para as falhas existentes no processo de compras da instituição. Ficou evidente a insatisfação dos usuários com o atual sistema de compras e que os setores pesquisados adotam boas práticas para melhorar o desempenho de suas compras, porém, elas são ocultas para os demais setores. Frente a isso, o Plano de Ação apresentado propõe a adoção de procedimentos padronizados para o processo de compras da UFV e uma política institucional de treinamento para que seus servidores realizem compras. / This work was developed under the Professional Master Degree in Management and Public Education Evaluation (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policy and the Education Evaluation Center of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAED/UFJF). This study aimed to analyze the purchasing process of the Federal University of Viçosa investigating possible failures of generating factors. In this institution purchase orders are released in a computerized system and directed to an organ responsible for the opening of the bidding process and for the centralized purchasing. However, applications with some kind of failure often are not perceived by this sector, resulting in non-fulfillment of the purchase or the purchase of lower quality items with high prices, bringing impact on the activities of the institution. From this scenario, one comes to the central question of this research: why some sectors of the university are successful in their purchases and others do not? The objectives defined for this study were: (1) To discuss the legal framework on public purchasing in Brazil and present a literature review on the subject; (2) To contextualize the institution that was the object of this study and map the purchasing process in four of its departments; (3) Check the satisfaction of those surveyed sectors and the organ responsible for purchasing with the purchasing process of the institution and (4) To propose an Educational Action Plan (PAE in portuguese). Therefore, the methodology used to develop this research dealt with is a case study of qualitative bias and in field research, the instruments used were semi-structured interviews and process mapping. The literature review were consulted authors such as Hermann (1999), Costa (2000), Batista and Maldonado (2008), Motta (2010) and Carvalho (2012). Based on the study, it was concluded that the lack of training for civil servants and the lack of standardization in the routines and communication failures have been identified as possible causes for flaws in the institution's purchasing process. Was evident dissatisfaction of users with the current procurement system and that the sectors surveyed adopt good practices to improve the performance of your purchases, however, they are hidden from the other sectors. Given this, the Action Plan presented proposes the adoption of standardized procedures for the UFV purchasing process and an institutional policy of training for their servers to perform purchases.

Vi lever i en omvärld med oförutsägbarhet och ett högt förändringstempo. Det är en utmaning att skapa förmåga för att vi ska kunna ställa om och anpassa oss till förändringar. Nyckeln till ett framgångsrikt förändringsarbete är att vara mottaglig för förändringar och kunna genomföra dem. Länsstyrelsen Gotlands Län kartlägger alla sina processer men arbetet har tagit längre tid än väntat. Syftet med examensarbetet är att synliggöra möjligheter för att effektivisera processkartläggning. Syftesfrågor som har använts i studien är vilket ledarskap behövs för att stödja arbetet? Hur kan förändrad kultur hjälpa till i förbättringen? Hur kan medarbetarna kompetensutvecklas för att möta behoven? Studien är en fallstudie där datainsamlingen har skett i form av intervjuer. Teori som använts i studien berör offensiv kvalitetsutveckling, förändringsarbete, hållbar verksamhetsutveckling, ledarskap och dialogkompetens. I studien har fem olika teman utkristalliserats i ett Orsak verkan diagram. Resultat visar orsaker till att processkartläggningen är ineffektiv. Arbetet har kommit fram till att delar av ledningen inte är tillräckligt engagerade för att processkartläggningen ska vara så effektiv som möjligt. En plan för genomförande för effektivisering har tagits fram. För att effektivisera processkartläggningen bör ledningen införa ett arbete med förbättringscykeln. Slutsatsen är att verksamhetsutveckling och ständiga förbättringar har stor betydelse för att organisationen ska kunna verka i en föränderlig omvärld, effektivisera de egna processerna och möta ständigt ökade kundkrav så att en bra kostnadseffektivitet uppnås. / We live in a world of unpredictability and a high rate of change. It is a challenge to create the ability for us to change and adapt to changes. The key to successful change is to be receptive to changes and to implement them. The County Administrative Board of Gotland County maps all its processes, but the work has taken longer than expected. The purpose of the thesis work is to visualize opportunities for streamlining process mapping. Sewing questions that have been used in the study are what leadership is needed to support the work? How can altered culture help in the improvement? How can employees develop skills to meet the needs? The study is a case study where data collection has taken place in the form of interviews. Theory used in the study concerns offensive quality development, change work, sustainable business development, leadership and dialogue skills. In the study, five different themes have been crystallized into a family diagram. This result shows reasons that process mapping is ineffective. The work has concluded that the management is not sufficiently committed to making the process mapping as efficient as possible. A plan for implementation for efficiency has been developed. To streamline process mapping, management should introduce work with the improvement cycle. The conclusion is that business development and continuous improvement are important for the organization to work in a changing environment, streamline its own processes and meet ever-increasing customer demands so that good cost-effectiveness is achieved.

The aim of this thesis is to define the audit issues regarding IS/ICT sector, creating a summary of standards, frameworks and best practices in IS/ICT - usable for IS auditing and mutual mapping of selected standards to the chosen reference framwork of ICT and following related goal is to make a procedure for the mapping of IT processes on standards in the field of IS/ICT. The aim of this thesis is description and mapping of the most important methodologies, standards and best practices related to the management and audit of IS/ICT and following related goal is building a procedure that allows the company to assess readiness for the certification of any of the selected standards, implement an alternative methodology for IT management or audit IS/ICT. First, the notion of audit is defined and discussed, followed by the discussion of the issue of IT audit, together with the financial audit. This is followed by a description of the different methodologies and approaches, which I used in my work. The chapter continues the description of methodology section that describes the mapping results. The actual mapping is in a separate Excel file and is part of this thesis. In the next chapter there is a procedure for mapping of business processes to different methodologies and standards used for management and audit of IS / ICT, which was created by myself.

The companies can choose from a wide range of tools and methodologies for mapping their processes. The key point is to select the right ones to ensure they will match with the purpose of process mapping and the process models will be clear and easy to understand for the entire stakeholder spectrum. For process modeling we often use diagrams. We have notations that are very advanced, they can be very detailed and accurate. On the other hand we have those which are very simple and with only a few symbols they can capture basic ideas and attributes of the process. The aim of this thesis is to compare representatives from each group of notations and answer the question which notation is more suitable for different types of utilization of business process models. The representative of the advanced instruments is BPMN 2.0, which is compared with the basic flowcharts. The research is based on Delphi method.

Den svenska hälso- och sjukvårdsbranschen för djur har under 2000-talet expanderat markant. För att driva en konkurrenskraftig verksamhet i en bransch som ständigt utvecklas är det viktigt att organisationen arbetar med förbättringsarbeten för att hålla jämna steg. Syftet med studien är att kartlägga en organisations interna och externa remisshandläggningsprocess med avsikt att synliggöra förbättringsmöjligheter.   I fallstudien har empiriinsamling genomförts med hjälp av litteraturstudie, observationer och intervjuer. Litteraturstudien genomfördes med avsikt att skapa ett teoretiskt ramverk. Observationer och interjuver utfördes med nio av fallklinikens remisshanterande personal i syfte att kartlägga remissprocessen och identifiera eventuella problemområden. Empirin visar att remisshandläggningsprocessen består av fyra delprocesser där det går att identifiera problemområden och förbättringsmöjligheter. Remissprocessen har en grundstruktur men det finns inget standardiserat arbetssätt och därför förekommer individualiserade tillvägagångssätt vid remisshantering. Samtliga respondenter är eniga om att den externa remisshandläggnings­processen fungerar bättre idag jämfört med tidigare. För de interna remisserna finns det ingen vedertagen administrativ process och empirin är inte tillräcklig för att kunna genomföra en processkartläggning.   En förbättringsmöjlighet är att implementera ett standardiserat tillvägagångssätt för remiss­hantering eftersom suboptimering då utesluts vilket effektiviserar den kompletta remisshand­läggningsprocessen. Dessutom skulle standardisering kunna bidra till en förståelse för hela flödet vilket är avgörande för ett lyckat förbättringsarbete. / The Swedish industry in animal health and medical care has expanded significantly during the 2000s. To run a competitive business in an industry that is constantly developing, it is of importance that the organization works with development to keep pace. The purpose of the study is to map the organization’s internal and external referral process with the intention of visualizing improvement opportunities.   In the case study, empirical data was collected with the help of a literature study, observations, and interviews. The literature study was conducted with the intention of creating a theoretical framework. Observations and interviews were performed with nine of the clinic’s referral managing staff to map the referral process and identify any problem areas. Empirical data shows that the referral process consists of four subprocesses where it is possible to identify problem areas and opportunities for improvement. The referral process has a basic structure, but there is no standardized working method and therefore there are individualized approaches when handling referrals. All respondents agree that the external referral process works better today than in the past. For the internal referrals, there is no established administrative process, and the collected empirical data is therefore not sufficient to be able to conduct a process mapping.   An opportunity for improvement is to implement a standardized approach to referral management because suboptimization is then excluded, which streamlines the complete referral process. Furthermore, standardization could contribute to an understanding of the entire flow, which is essential for a successful improvement project. / <p>Examen i vårdadministration, YH-utbildning: 20 Yh-poäng</p>
