Ao mesmo tempo, os clientes estão cada vez mais exigindo melhores produtos considerando atributos tangíveis (ex.: aroma, cor, sabor, textura, entre outros) e intangíveis (ex.: marca, comércio justo e responsabilidade ambiental). O café é um dos produtos agrícolas mais importantes do mercado mundial, considerado a força propulsora do desenvolvimento sócio-econômico para muitas regiões, além de ser produzido em todos os continentes. Vale ser ressaltado que o café é uma das bebidas mais consumidas no mundo, sendo a segunda maior commodity 1 negociada depois do petróleo. Para a economia brasileira, o café é uma atividade tradicional e de grande inserção no mercado internacional. É responsável pela geração de um grande número de empregos em todos os setores da economia, indo desde os setores de máquinas, equipamentos e insumos, passando pela produção no campo e pela indústria, até o setor de serviços, como logística e comércio. Atualmente o Brasil consolida a posição de maior produtor e exportador mundial de café, sendo responsável por 30% do mercado internacional de café. Logo é necessário analisar cada vez mais o processo de produção do café, a fim de aumentar a capacidade de produção do sistema, bem como reduzir simultâneamente os custos, sejam devidos à operação, manutenção, pontualidade na execução das tarefas ou ociosidade do equipamento. Tal análise quando corretamente aplicada, é capaz de evidenciar os principais pontos de gargalo, sobre os quais os gerentes de produção devem manter o foco e otimizá-los a fim de aumentar a vantagem competitiva de empresa. A avaliação do desempenho do processo de manufatura é de grande importância para detectar problemas no processo de produção (ex.: gargalos), bem como elementos para reduzir os custos, uma vez que as falhas geram custos durante o desenvolvimento, durante a produção e em serviço (B., 2008). A análise de desempenho puro de processos de fabricação assume que os processos não falham. Esta hipótese não é verdadeira, pois a maioria dos processos de fabricação podem continuar as suas operações, mesmo na presença de falhas. Logo, a realização da análise combinada de desempenho e disponibilidade, chamada performabilidade, é essencial. Este trabalho apresenta um modelo estocástico para avaliação de performabilidade e planejamento de processo do fabricação de café com o objetivo de reduzir o custo e o tempo do ciclo de produção. Um estudo de caso industrial mostra a utilidade prática dos modelos e metodologia proposta. Além disso, as estimativas obtidas a partir do modelo mostram que a abordagem proposta é de fato uma boa aproximação para as respectivas medidas obtidas a partir do processo real de fabricação do café. / Globalization and advanced manufacturing technologies have forced manufacturing firms to increase productivity while reducing costs. At the same time, customers are increasingly demanding better products considering tangible (e.g., smell, color, taste, texture, etc.) and intangible (e.g., mark, fair treading environmental responsability) attributes. Coffee is one of the most important agricultural products in the world market, considered the driving force of socio-economic development for many regions, besides being produced on every continent. Is worth be emphasized that coffee is one of the most consumed beverages in the world and is the second largest commodity traded after oil. For the Brazilian economy, the coffee is a traditional activity and of large insertion in the international market. It is responsible for generating a large number of jobs in all sectors of the economy, ranging from the sectors of machinery, equipment and supplies, through production in the field and industry to the service sector, such as logistics and trade. Currently, Brazil consolidates a position as the largest producer and exporter of coffee, accounting for 30% of the international coffee market. Therefore we analyze the coffee production process in order to increase the system’s production capacity and reduce costs simultaneously, are due to the operation, maintenance, on-time execution of tasks or idle equipment. Such analysis when properly applied, is able to show the main points of bottleneck, on which production managers must stay focused and optimize them in order to increase the competitive advantage of the company. The evaluation of the performance of the manufacturing process is very important to detect problems in the production process (ex .: bottlenecks), as well as elements to reduce costs, since faults generate costs in development, production and during service (B., 2008). The pure performance analysis of manufacturing processes assumes that the processes do not fail. This hypothesis is not true, since most manufacturing processes can continue to operate even in the presence of faults. Therefore, the performance of the combined analysis of performance and availability, call performability, is essential. This work presents a stochastic model for performability evaluation and planning of coffee manufacturing process aiming to reduce the cost and time of the production cycle. An industrial case study shows the practical usability of the proposed models and techniques. Besides, the estimates obtained from the model show that the proposed approach is indeed a good approximation to the respective measures obtained from the real coffee manufacturing process.

To this end, we used the model script troubleshooting Business Project (Business Problem Solving) of AKEN; Berends (2012) and VANDENBOSCH (2003). We used the data of the expenses incurred to calculate the costing method of the UEP-production Effort unit. The results, as the calculation of the unit cost of production per tonne, pointed to a similarity of monetary value, however it was found that among the methods analyzed, the costing method of the UEP-production Effort Unit presented more detailed cost management information with regard to the production process and with higher quality for analysis, allowing a enabling a more analytical knowledge of manufacturing capacity and the possible idleness. Its simplicity of use and ease of adoption of this method becomes attractive. / Esta pesquisa estudou o comportamento unitário de produção de uma empresa de extração mineral a céu aberto, comparando o método de custeio por absorção e o método de custeio através da utilização da UEP (Unidade de Esforço de Produção) para verificar se esse método apresentava uma geração de dados e informações gerenciais mais detalhadas para a administração. Para tanto, foi utilizado o roteiro do modelo de Projeto de solução de problemas empresariais (Business Problem Solving) de Aken (2012) e Vandenbosch (2003). Foram utilizados os dados dos gastos incorridos de custeio para cálculo do método da UEP Unidade de Esforço de Produção. Os resultados, quanto à apuração do custo unitário de produção por tonelada, apontaram para uma similaridade de valor monetário, entretanto verificou-se que entre os métodos analisados, o método de custeio da UEP apresentou informações gerenciais de custo mais detalhadas no tocante ao processo produtivo e com maior qualidade para análise, possibilitando um conhecimento mais analítico da capacidade fabril e da eventual ociosidade. A simplicidade de utilização e a facilidade de adoção desse método de custeio através da UEP tornam-se um atrativo para as empresas.

Kritisk design är ett forsknings- och innovationsområde under utveckling. Teorin har använts inom många designrelaterade områden och ämnar få konsumenterna att bli mer kritiska när det kommer till hur deras vardagliga liv styrs av olika föreställningar, värderingar, ideologier och behavioristiska mönster som finns införlivade i design (Dunne & Raby, 2001). Eftersom kritisk design är en teori som strävar efter att förändra i praktiken ligger utmaningen idag i att skapa praktiska exempel som visar hur utförandet kan gå till, vilket är en nödvändighet för att teorin ska kunna utvecklas (Bardzell et al., 2012). Denna studie ämnar vara metodutvecklande genom att skapa en uppsättning verktyg utifrån utvalda delar (teoretiska metoder och perspektiv) ur kritisk design. Målet med dessa verktyg är att de ska kunna användas som ett hjälpmedel för att kunna arbeta praktiskt med kritisk design i en design- och produktionsprocess. I denna studie har vi testat våra verktyg i design/produktionsprocessen av en musikvideo för att undersöka hur man kan applicera kritisk design i en specifik produktionsprocess. Till vår hjälp har vi förhållit oss till designorienterade forskningsmetoder och då främst Daniel Fällmans triangelmodell för interaktionsdesign och design forskning (2008). Genom att föra samman kritiska designperspektiv och videoproduktion ämnar denna studie att ge ett bidrag till ett metodutvecklande arbete för att överbrygga det befintliga glappet mellan teori och praktik inom kritisk design. / Critical design is a research- and innovationarea under development. The critical design theory has been used in many design-related areas and intends to get consumers to become more critical when it comes to how their everyday lives are controlled by different beliefs, values, ideologies and behavioral patterns that are incorporated into design (Dunne & Raby, 2001). Since critical design is a theory that seeks to transform in practice the challenge today lies in creating practical examples that show how it can be done, which is a necessity for the theory to develop (Bardzell et al., 2012). This study intends to be method developing by creating a set of tools based on selected parts (theoretical methods and perspectives) from critical design. The goal of these tools are to function as an instrument enabling practical implementation of critical design in a design/production process. In this study we have tested our tools in a specific productionprocess of a music video to explore how to apply critical design practically. In doing so we used design-oriented research methods, in particular Daniel Fällmans triangelmodel for interactiondesign and design research (2008). By bringing together critical design perspectives and video production purposes, this study hopes to make a contribution to the method fulfilling work of bridging the existing gap between theory and practice in critical design.

The coverage of news media on conflicts increasingly became the subject of criticism, accused of sensationalism, oversimplification, and underrepresentation of certain issues. While recognizing that it is the journalists and editors that make choices regarding the collection and framing of the stories and accounts published in newspapers and digital media outlets, this thesis sets to understand these choices against the background of the web of structural constraints pertaining to professional, organizational, economic and political contexts of their work. Drawing on a theoretical perspective of Peace Journalism and Bläsi’s model of factors influencing conflict-coverage, this thesis explores what factors influenced the coverage of Hong Kong’s Anti-Extradition protests and how they can be seen as hindrances or facilitators for Peace Journalism. The study presents the results of a qualitative content analysis of material obtained through semi-structured expert interviews with four journalists who covered the protests on-site. The findings display that factors pertaining to the journalistic system, personal features of the journalist, lobbies, conflict situation on-site, public climate, and audience were playing a significant role in shaping the news production throughout the Anti-Extradition protests. A majority of these factors were identified as limiting rather than facilitating Peace Journalism. This study suggests that in order to have a relevant and lasting impact, Peace Journalism needs to formulate strategies that consider the realities journalists face on the ground and factors influencing conflict coverage that pose limitations to its practice.

La acuicultura se ha posicionado en el mundo como una de las alternativas de producción para satisfacer las demandas de alimentos del futuro. En el Perú, la acuicultura representa un importante aporte al crecimiento del país, en el cual se encuentran diferentes especies desarrolladas, destacando las conchas de abanico, denominadas también como “pepitas de oro”. Las conchas de abanico se han convertido en uno de los cultivos acuícolas más relevantes por sus niveles de producción y exportación en el país. Para la exportaciones de conchas de abanico, intervienen diferentes procesos, los cuales destacan la etapa de cultivo y los procesamientos primario y secundario. Por otro lado, en todo proceso de exportaciones participan distintos actores, entre ellos, los encargados de gestionar las operaciones logísticas. El objetivo de esta investigación es identificar la relación entre la gestión logística y el desempeño de las exportaciones de conchas de abanico hacia Francia durante el período 2016 – 2020 para identificar mejoras e información importante para el desarrollo sostenible de las exportaciones de conchas de abanico. Para este análisis se realizó una investigación cuantitativa, no experimental y correlacional con un enfoque en 4 dimensiones: Proceso de producción, Almacenamiento, Abastecimiento y Exportaciones. El instrumento utilizado fue una encuesta de escala de tipo Likert a 30 empresas exportadoras de conchas de abanico. Para el análisis de las respuestas se usó el sistema SPSS, concluyendo que existe una relación positiva entre la gestión logística y el desempeño de las exportaciones de conchas de abanico, durante el período analizado. / Aquaculture has positioned in the world as one of the production alternatives to satisfy the food demands of the future. In Peru, aquaculture represents an important contribution to the growth of the country, in which there are different developed species, outstanding the Scallops, also known as "gold nuggets". Scallops have become one of the most relevant aquaculture farms due to their production and export levels in the country. For the export of fan scallops, different processes intervene, which outstanding the cultivation phase and the primary and secondary processing. On the other hand, different actors participate in every export process, including those in charge of managing logistics operations. The objective of this research is to identify the relationship between logistics management and the performance of scallops exports to France during the period 2016 - 2020 to identify improvements and important information for the sustainable development of scallops exports. For this analysis, a quantitative, non-experimental and correlational investigation was carried out with a focus on 4 dimensions: Production process, Storage, Supply and Exports. The instrument used was a Likert-type scale survey of 30 scallop export companies. For the analysis of the responses, the SPSS system was used, concluding that there is a positive relationship between logistics management and the performance of scallop exports during the period analyzed. / Tesis

The objective of this master thesis is to design a robotic work cell for automated insertion of thermostatic heads. The proposed design was based on the comprehensive analysis of the current workplace. By taking the demands of the company and customer into consideration, several possibilities of the robotic work cell design were proposed, from which the most suitable one was chosen and carefully elaborated. During the process of designing, several safety standards had to be taken into consideration in order to mitigate risks. For that purpose, a risk analysis was conducted as well. Using the Siemens Process Simulate software, the proposed robotic work cell concept was verified, including cycle time analysis. The last part of the thesis is an assessment of the initial expenditures of the robotic work cell equipment, as well as the return of the investment calculation. Drawing of the robotic work cell layout is attached to the thesis.

Experimental design is a practice operating at the limit between craftmanship, art and technology. In collaboration with the studio breadeEscalope (Vienna, Austria) this project oscillates between research and production to study the link between industrial and experimental approach to design.  Hitherto initiated from an impulse or a problem requiring solution, the action of designing suggest a product or a service to fulfill needs. In industrial design, the creative process follows contextually anchored steps to frame, define, develop and deliver. For the sake of a pragmatic answer, the delivery is centred around the user and its needs, often leading to an opaque finished product.  Home’s basic, the coat rack was selected to support this study as a concrete product base for trend and consumer behavior analysis. From shared ornamental and functional object placed in the entrance of houses, the coat rack previously “hatstand”, is today an unnoticed domestic object. The final product was hand manufactured with recycled and raw component, allowing transparency on the production process and used material. Stacking up coats on the produced rack create a private space for the user to sit in, questioning the relationship between user and product (ownership, trust, value). Based on architectural concept and design theory, the product aims to bridge creative and technical disciplines to suggest a functional yet questionable product as dialogue starter.  How sustainable are the objects that surround us every day? What is the story of the product? With those question in head the experimental design thinking studio breadedEscalope based in Vienna (Austria), offers an alternative approach to design. Always starting projects with the production process as a story of formations, offering unique and playful outcome to the act of designing. / Experimentell design är en praxis som fungerar på gränsen mellan hantverk, konst och teknik. I samarbete med studio breadeEscalope (Wien, Österrike) pendlar detta projekt mellan forskning och produktion för att studera sambandet mellan industriell och experimentell strategi för design.  Hittills initierad från en impuls eller ett problem som kräver lösning, föreslår åtgärden att designa en produkt eller en tjänst för att uppfylla behoven. Inom industriell design följer den kreativa processen kontextuellt förankrade steg för att rama in, definiera, utveckla och leverera. För ett pragmatiskt svar är leveransen centrerad kring användaren och dess behov, vilket ofta leder till en ogenomskinlig färdig produkt.  Hemmets grund, klädhänget valdes för att stödja denna studie som en konkret produktbas för trend- och konsumentbeteendeanalys. Från delat prydnads- och funktionellt föremål placerat i ingången till hus är klädhänget tidigare "hatstand", idag ett obemärkt inhemskt föremål. Slutprodukten tillverkades för hand med återvunnen och rå komponent, vilket gav insyn i produktionsprocessen och använt material. Att stapla upp rockar på det producerade racket skapar ett privat utrymme för användaren att sitta i och ifrågasätter förhållandet mellan användare och produkt (ägande, förtroende, värde). Baserat på arkitektoniska koncept och designteori syftar produkten till att överbrygga kreativa och tekniska discipliner för att föreslå en funktionell men tvivelaktig produkt som dialogstartare.  Hur hållbara är de objekt som omger oss varje dag? Vad är historien om produkten? Med dessa frågor i huvudet erbjuder den experimentella designtänkande studion breadedEscalope baserad i Wien (Österrike), ett alternativt tillvägagångssätt för design. Alltid starta projekt med produktionsprocessen som en berättelse om formationer, erbjuder unikt och lekfullt resultat till handlingen att designa.
