Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Organisation development is an emerging behavioural science discipline. Its goals are to make organisations more effective and to develop individual potential. For this reason organisation development provides a set of methodologies to bring about organisational change and improvement systematically. The techniques introduced by organisation development adhere to a set frame of values. This research proposes that organisation development, as an evolving discipline, can depend on the management of diversity as a tool for change under certain conditions. Organisations are faced with the problem of surviving a fiercely competitive world. This they have to do with a workforce that is becoming increasingly diverse. Diversity as highlighted in this study, is a complex phenomenon. It does not entail only race and ethnicity as is sometimes believed, but also incorporates aspects like cultural differences and individual preferences. The traditional view of diversity has been assimilation, where race and other differences were standardised in a type of melting pot. In real life groups want to retain their individuality and this is being increased by today's non-hierarchical, collaborate and flexible management styles. The challenge is therefore to acknowledge differences and then to get the same and even more productivity from a diverse workforce as had been the case with the homogeneous workforce. This must be done without artificial programmes, standards or barriers. The limited data strongly suggest that efforts to manage diversity, as undertaken by leading organisations, have been fairly successful in improving performance regarding productivity, absenteeism and turnover. If diversity is ignored or improperly managed, it could become a detractor from performance. On the other hand, if diversity is managed well, organisations will be able to make diversity an asset to performance. This research shows that the management of diversity can and should be used to change organisation culture and to promote satisfactory performance. In this regard the monoculture of the South African Police Services is described as an example of an organisation culture that hampers the personal growth of its members and thus leads to ineffectiveness. This study identifies the main characteristics of the so-called police culture that prevents the organisations performance from being effective. It does so in the light of recent quantitative and qualitative research. Out of this a framework is developed that can be used to implement the management of diversity. The study also proposes proposals to utilise the management of diversity as an organisational development technique. For this purpose a measurement instrument is developed. The dissertation concludes with an exposition of strategies that the South African Police Service can implement on individual, group and organisation level, to manage diversity effectively. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Organisasie-ontwikkeling, 'n ontluikende gedragswetenskaplike dissipline, het as doelwit die verhoging van organisasies se effektiwiteit en die ontwikkeling van individue se potensiaal. Om dié rede maak organisasie-ontwikkeling voorsiening vir 'n stel metodologieë gerig op die stelselmatige teweegbring van organisatoriese verandering en verbetering. Die tegnieke wat deur organisasie-ontwikkeling toegepas word, is op 'n vaste waardestelsel gefundeer. Hierdie navorsing doen aan die hand dat organisasie-ontwikkeling, as 'n jong dissipline, onder sekere omstandighede kan reken op die bestuur van diversiteit as 'n instrument vir verandering. Organisasies kom te staan voor die probleem van oorlewing in 'n hoogs mededingende wêreld en kan dit slegs aandurf met die beskikbare menslike hulpbronne van 'n toenemend diverse aard. Diversiteit, soos in hierdie studie toegelig, is 'n komplekse verskynsel wat nie slegs, soos dikwels aanvaar, ras en etnisiteit behels nie, maar ook aspekte soos kulturele verskille en individuele voorkeure insluit. Die tradisionele siening van diversiteit was een van assimilasie waar ras en ander verskille in 'n tipe smeltkroes gestandaardiseer is. In die werklike lewe wil groepe hul individualiteit behou, 'n beginsel wat bevorder word deur die hedendaagse nie-hiërargiese, samewerkende en buigsame bestuurstyle. Die uitdaging is dus om, met erkenning van die verskille, met die diverse arbeidsmag selfs hoër produktiwiteit te behaal as met 'n homogene arbeidsmag. Dit moet sonder kunsmatige programme, standaarde of hindernisse bewerkstellig word. Die beperkte data laat deurlopend blyk dat die diversiteitsbestuurspogings, soos deur vooraanstaande organisasies aangewend, in 'n mate geslaag het om verbeteringe in produktiwiteit, werksafwesigheid en arbeidsomset teweeg te bring. Indien geïgnoreer of swak bestuur, kan diversiteit nadelig op produktiwiteit inwerk, soos die teendeel ook waar is, naamlik dat diversiteit, wanneer goed bestuur, tot voordeel van produktiwiteit kan wees. Hierdie navorsing toon dat die bestuur van diversiteit kan en behoort gebruik te word om organisasiekultuur te verander en om bevredigende werkverrigting te bevorder. In hierdie verband word die monokultuur van die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens beskryf as 'n voorbeeld van 'n organisasiekultuur wat die persoonlike groei van lede strem en so tot oneffektiwiteit aanleiding gee. Aan die hand van resente kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe navorsing identifiseer hierdie studie die hoofkenmerke van die sogenaamde polisiekultuur wat belemmerend inwerk op effektiewe werkverrigting. Hieruit word 'n raamwerk ontwikkel wat gebruik kan word vir die implementering van diversiteitsbestuur. Die studie doen ook voorstelle aan die hand om die bestuur van diversiteit as Organisasie-Ontwikkelingstegniek te optimaliseer. Vir die doeleindes word 'n meetinstument ontwikkel. Die proefskrif sluit af met 'n uiteensetting van strategieë wat die SA Polisiediens vir die effektiewe bestuur van diversiteit op individuele, groeps, organisasie en interorganisatoriese vlakke kan implementeer.

Thesis (MPA)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The transformation of the South African Police Service (SAPS) did not simply brought about a change in name; it meant a different new style of policing. A completely new concept of how a police service should function within a democratic society, had to be developed and learnt. One of the significant changes was the transformation of the old South African Police Force into the SAPS. Included in this process was the amalgamation of the eleven police agencies into one organisation. The transformation process had a major impact on productivity in the different components of the SAPS, as evidence suggests that change is difficult and that resistance may be expected whenever change involves a significant impact on the traditional behaviour, power, authority, culture and structure within an organisation. The objective of training is to achieve a change in the behaviour of those employees who are undergoing training. The SAPS therefore had to start using training programmes to ensure that all employees accept the change process easier. The researcher attended the Station Management Programme (SMP) at Stellenbosch University in 1999. The first module presented at the SMP comprised the concept of a learning organisation. After successfully completing the SMP, this management mechanism was implemented at Athlone Detective Service. This detective service is one of the components at the Athlone po lice station, which in turn forms part of 1096 po lice stations in South Africa. The high volume of cases on hand was one of the main reasons why it was decided to experiment there with the five disciplines of the learning organisation, as proposed by Peter Senge, at the beginning of July 1999. In Chapter one the research problem is identified, namely whether a learning organisation can be used to improve productivity at detective services. The objectives of this study are firstly to prove how the five disciplines of a learning organisation were implemented at Athlone detective service in order to increase productivity. Secondly, this study will give guidance to the other detective services in the SAPS on how to improve their own productivity. Related literature is reviewed in Chapter two, and these references are made applicable on the SAPS, and more specifically on the Athlone detective service in Chapter three. The gathering, analysis and interpretation of data are discussed in Chapter four. The data for this research has been gathered by means of computerised data, which has been collected from the Criminal Administration System (CAS) of the SAPS, and by means ofa questionnaire, which was distributed among the personnel at Athlone detective service. The collected data is analysed statistically and interpreted in this chapter to establish whether the disciplines of a learning organisation had an impact on productivity. The main focus points of each chapter are firstly summarised, while recommendations are made on the effective management thereof in Chapter five. A conclusion is also given in this last chapter. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die transformasie van die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens (SAPD) het nie slegs 'n verandering in naam beteken nie, maar 'n totale verskillende manier van polisiering. 'n Algehele nuwe konsep van hoe 'n polisiediens binne 'n demokratiese samelewing behoort te funksioneer, moes ontwikkel en aangeleer word. Een van die vernaamste veranderings was die omskakeling van die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiemag na die SAPD. Ingesluit in hierdie proses was die samesmelting van die elf verskillende polisieagentskappe in een organisasie. Hierdie proses het 'n negatiewe invloed op produktiwiteit in die verskillende afdelings van die SAPD gehad, aangesien daar al bewys is dat verandering moeilik is en dat weerstand verwag kan word wanneer hierdie verandering met tradisies, mag, gesag, kultuur en struktuur binne 'n organisasie te make het. Die doel van opleiding is om 'n verandering in die gedrag van werknemers te bereik; gevolglik het die SAPD met opleidingsprogramme begin om te verseker dat alle werknemers die veranderingsproses makliker aanvaar. Gedurende 1999 het die navorser die Stasiebestuursprogram (SBP) aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch deurloop. Die eerste module wat gedurende die SBP aangebied is, was die konsep van lerende organisasie. Na die suksesvolle voltooiing van die SBP, is hierdie bestuursinstrument te Athlone speurdiens in gebruik geneem. Hierdie speurdiens is een van die afdelings van die Athlone polisiestasie, wat op sy beurt deel uitmaak van 'n totaal van 1096 ander polisiestasies in Suid-Afrika. Die vernaamste rede waarom besluit was om die vyf dissiplines van die lerende organisasie, soos deur Peter Senge voorgestel op die proef te stel was die groot aantal sake wat ondersoekbeamtes voorhande gehad het gedurende 1999. In hoofstuk een word die navorsingsprobleem geformuleer as: kan die lerende organisasie gebruik word om produktiwiteit in die speurdiens te verbeter? Die doel van hierdie navorsingsprojek is eerstens om te bewys hoe die lerende organisasie gebruik is om produktiwiteit te Athlone speurdiens te verbeter. Ten tweede is die doel van die navorsing om ander speurdienste, binne die SAPD, van riglyne te voorsien oor hoe om hulle eie produktiwiteit te verbeter. Hoofstuk twee bestaan uit 'n oorsig oor die toepaslike literatuur, terwyl die literatuur in hoofstuk drie op die SAPD van toepassing gemaak word. Die insameling, ontleding en vertolking van data word in hoofstuk vier bespreek. Vir die doeleindes van hierdie navorsing is van gerekenariseerde data gebruik gemaak wat vanaf die Misdaad-Administrasiestelsel (MAS) van die SAPD verkry is en uit vraelyste wat onder die Athlone speurdiens versprei is. Die data wat ingesamel is, word in hierdie hoofstuk statisties ontleed en vertolk, ten einde vas te stel of die dissiplines van die lerende organisasie weI 'n invloed op produktiwiteit gehad het. In hoofstuk vyf word die vernaamste bevindings eerstens opgesom en daarna word aanbevelings oor die doeltreffende bestuur daarvan gemaak. Laastens word 'n gevolgtrekking gegee.

In the last two decades the IT service support worker has emerged to be a worker-type of considerable socio-economic importance. Such workers are symbolic of the trends towards the importance of information/knowledge and information technology within modern economic/political systems. Such systems, heavily influenced by governmental bodies and business organisations, have aggrandised the use of rationalising customer-centric management techniques. And yet such symbolic workers are largely hidden and unacknowledged as a specific type of worker in the business literature. This thesis represents an attempt to conceptualise the IT service support worker as a worker-type, inducing a conceptual model that identifies three aspects to the worker: information systems worker; knowledge worker and service worker and considers them from each of these perspectives. This qualitative research draws on a rich mix of observational and interview data collected across five UK organisations to produce a narrative that suggests that, for different IT service support workers, those different aspects tend to be variably emphasised within their team roles. The study additionally offers a theoretical conclusion that IT service support workers might reasonably be divided into different classes depending upon not only the design of their team role but also their individual career orientations and the nature of the knowledge they actually use in their work. Four such classes are identified as being of particular significance and these are evocatively named: Resigned Robots ; Constrained Careerists ; Establishment Experts and Aspiring Artisans . Whilst being outside of the scope of this study, it is suggested that this novel typology might also be useful for classifying other worker groupings. The study is intended to be useful for the enhancement of IT service management practice and makes several contributions in this regard. These include the need for managers to recognise the importance of experientially-acquired knowledge for efficiency in IT service support work and a suggestion that managers might tailor HRM practices for different classes of worker.

依產業全球化的發展態勢觀察，產業由初期水準分工結構，生產基地往低成本的區域發展（即生產全球化），協助維持企業在國際產業供應鏈上的競爭力，漸次發展成一方面以開發新市場商機（即市場全球化）為主的成長策略，另一方面則逐步走向以整合全球各地研發資源（即研發全球化），以建構最具優勢的競爭基礎，實現全球的商機。 快速技術變遷與技術擴散而帶來的市場競爭，是促成科技產業廠商致力於事業分工營運的主要因素，在知識產業□由於產品系統規模愈趨龐大，整合度更完整的前提下對透過專業分工整合各地資源可以分散風險，建構獨特與專業的產業影響力。此一趨勢發展，在產業全球化且高度分工的環境下，是廠商發展核心能力，建構競爭優勢的策略作為。 近來大部份台灣廠商以大陸投資策略為其全球化策略的第一步，因此在本研究中，希望採用行動研究方法(action research method)，探討知識產業公司在全球化策略的思維，透過先行在大陸設立協同合作子公司實際經營管理，將所遭遇管理問題，透過擬具之行動方案--創新研發管理、服務管理、人力資源管理等經營管理工作進行操兵演練，經由不斷的調整改變以符合各子公司的經營環境，以達到厚基核心競爭力、強化高執行力之企業目標，以為日後擴及其他國家或地區時可作為典範。 關鍵字：創新研發管理、服務管理、專案管理、知識管理 / According to the industrial globalization trend, the initial models of level-cooperation and low-cost region development (production globalization) have been changed. Instead, the industry has been significantly developed to the new strategy of market opportunity (market globalization) along with worldwide resource integration (research & development globalization) that builds up a competitive foundation for global commercial opportunities. Rapid technology movement and spreading have formed a highly competitive market, which is the primary fact of facilitating the hi-tech manufactures to focus on the business cooperation. In knowledge industry, because the scale of product system is getting grown and completely integrated, a unique and significant production influence has been settled to reduce risks via the professionalism cooperation and resource integration from all regions. Under the trend of industrial globalization and intensive cooperation, the main strategy implementation of manufacture is to develop its core capability as well as competitive superiority. In recent development, majority of manufactures in Taiwan makes their first step to the globalization by investment to Mainland China. As a result, in this research, we apply a mechanism, Action Research Method, to explore the concept behind the knowledge industry’s globalization. It is executed through the management experience from pre-established sub-company to draw up a scheme, including innovation and research management, service management, and human resource management. From the constant adjustments according to running status of sub-company, the ability of core competency is expected to be solid and concreted. In addition, it strengthens the target of paramount execution that can be the standard model using in other countries and business areas in the future. Keywords: Innovation & Research management, service management, project management, knowledge management

The last eighty years have seen some dramatic changes occurring in the business community, particularly in the area of management leadership. Most significant in this regard is the increased emphasis upon human relations in management. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects that this trend has had on methods of management currently practiced. This is done by means of a survey of supervisors and subordinates conducted in the Dallas metroplex area. The results of this survey suggest that a good supervisor is neither authoritarian nor permissive per se, but rather he is one who recognizes and responds to the variables which determine whether the human relations management approach or the more rigid scientific approach will best suit his particular leadership situation.

The personal social services in Sweden have undergone major changes during recent decades, partly due to the reforms caused by the influence of New Public Management (NPM) and partly due to the trend towards greater specialisation. These changes have had consequences for both social work management and for social work practice. The consequences for practice have gained attention both from research and from the field, but the consequences for managers have rarely been discussed. In this thesis therefore, the attention is directed towards the managers. Inspired by a mixed methods approach, this thesis aims to explore the personal social service managers’ perceptions of their organisational conditions and the content of their everyday work, as well as to interpret the managers’ experiences against the background of NPM influence, increasing specialisation and the specific circumstances that come with managing politically governed organisations. The results show that the personal social service managers in general were former professionals with extensive social work experience. The managerial work was to a great extent perceived as reactive, entailing constant interruptions and acute situations. The managers experienced a heavy workload that appeared to prevent them from engaging in strategic work and leadership to the extent that they would have liked. Substantial proportions of managers were dissatisfied with their own levels of influence compared to that of politicians and, in general, the managers perceived themselves to have more influence regarding aspects that were operational (such as methods and working procedures) compared to aspects related to organisational structure. Through the managers’ descriptions of their relations with politicians, it was revealed that the roles could be muddled, and that both managers and politicians could have difficulties in distinguishing between politics and administration, or politics and profession. Several changes that could be attributed to the influence of NPM were described by the managers. Some changes had consequences for the more technical side of management, e.g. decentralised budget responsibility, increased focus on cost effectiveness and downsizing of support functions. Other changes were more related to the overarching concept of management, which had consequences for the choice of managerial training, the expectations placed on the managers, and to some extent the managers’ own views on what good management should be. Despite the many indications of changes that may be attributed to NPM, an important result in this thesis is that NPM does not appear to have permeated social work to the degree that might have been expected. Rather, there are clear indications of a remaining professional identity among managers on all managerial levels, as well a continuing bureau-professional regime within the personal social services.

I och med urbaniseringen i det svenska samhället har många städer vuxit och utvecklats till storstäder. Storstäder har många utmaningar, allt ifrån att det ska finnas jobb och bostadsmöjligheter så måste även infrastrukturen i form av transportmöjligheter utvecklas i takt med befolkningsökningen. Större befolkning betyder mer människor i rörelse som lätt leder till försämrad framkomlighet i trafiken. Detta examensarbete har utförts åt Räddningstjänsten i Jönköpings kommun med syftet att bidra med ett underlag angående vad en ny brandstation skulle generera i minskade insatstider och samhällsnytta. Räddningstjänsten upplever att trafiken i Jönköpings tätort bidrar till sämre framkomlighet som i sin tur leder till att räddningstjänsten får längre insatstider än önskat. Därför planerar kommunen att en ny brandstation ska byggas. I examensarbetet har samhällsnyttan för den nya stationen undersökts genom att bygga en GIS-modell där det går att simulera och undersöka insatstiden för räddningstjänsten baserat på historiska händelser. En litteraturstudie utfördes för att ge en grundläggande kunskapsmässig förståelse för området examensarbetet behandlar. För att få förståelse och kunskap om nuläget för Räddningstjänsten i Jönköping utfördes tre olika intervjuer. Intervjuerna riktade sig till personer som är involverade i utvecklingsprocessen av Jönköpings infrastruktur. Den största delen av examensarbetet var skapandet av GIS-modellen och analysen av det resultat modellen genererade. Under hela examensarbetet har en dialog med Räddningstjänsten i Jönköping förts. Detta för att få hjälp med tolkning av den historiska data räddningstjänsten bidragit med men också för att kontrollera att GIS-modellen resulterade i svar som verkade sannolika och användbara. Examensarbetet resulterade i att en ny brandstation skulle minska medelinsatstiden för räddningstjänsten och generera samhällsnytta. Eftersom en modell aldrig kan ge samma resultat som verkligheten är det viktigt att ta andra saker än enbart GIS-modellens resultat i beaktning när det diskuteras vad samhällsnyttan och en minskning av medelinsatstiden egentligen har för betydelse. Examensarbetet anses kunna vara en del av det beslutsunderlag som används vid beslutsfattandet om en ny brandstation i Jönköpings kommun.

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a percepção de médicos, enfermeiros e auxiliares ou técnicos a respeito das infecções hospitalares e de suas práticas de prevenção e controle. Realizou-se entrevista semi-estruturada com oito profissionais de cada categoria, que atuam em hospitais da cidade de São Paulo, com comissão de controle de infecção de acordo com as normas legais. A motivação inicial foi a não aderência dos profissionais de saúde às principais recomendações da CCIH, aliada a sua ineficácia em alterar os comportamentos destes em relação a estas medidas. Observouse que os profissionais de saúde adquiriram na sua prática conhecimentos sobre as infecções hospitalares e sua prevenção, mas sentem dificuldades para incorporar estas medidas no atendimento aos pacientes. Tendem a atribuir sua ocorrência ao acaso, condições inadequadas de trabalho ou buscam culpado. Nos hospitais existe uma divisão hierárquica rígida do trabalho. Os médicos exercem o comando das ações diagnósticas e terapêuticas, e atribuem as infecções hospitalares ao acaso, associado à gravidade do paciente. Os enfermeiros gerenciam os cuidados prestados aos pacientes. Atribuem as infecções hospitalares aos procedimentos invasivos e falhas na atenção prestada aos pacientes. Os auxiliares prestam diretamente o cuidado assistencial e relacionam os casos de infecção a algum culpado, procurando identificar o profissional ou a ação que levou a contaminação. Em relação às medidas de prevenção e controle das infecções hospitalares, os profissionais de saúde reconhecem que a CCIH pode ser uma fonte de informações epidemiológicas e científicas, que os auxilia na prática profissional, porém os papéis não estão claramente delimitados e isto gera conflitos ou omissões. Os médicos enfatizam a consultoria para prescrição de antibióticos. Os enfermeiros destacam o respaldo científico que é dado para suas dúvidas e padronizações. Os auxiliares relatam as aulas que são ministradas. Os principais problemas referidos são a deficiência de formação acadêmica em relação ao tema, dificuldade para o trabalho em equipe, as situações de emergência, quadro funcional deficiente e superpopulação de pacientes. A CCIH é percebida como um órgão de assessoria da direção e não exibe o mesmo rigor para propor medidas corretivas que envolvam a direção, tal como faz com os auxiliares e técnicos, principalmente em situações de aumento da incidência de infecção. A CCIH também é vista como um órgão fiscalizador e de punição. Embora não exista formação acadêmica específica em controle de infecção, os profissionais adquirem-na na sua prática / The objective of this study was to verify the perception of physicians, nurses and auxiliaries or technicians regarding to nosocomial infections and their prevention and control practices. A semi-structured interview was made with eight professionals of each category who work in hospitals in the city of Sao Paulo, with the commission of infection control according to the legal norms. The initial reason of this study was the noncompliance by the healthcare professionals to the main recommendations of CCIH (Center of Nosocomial Infection Control), besides its inefficiency to change their behaviors regarding to those attitudes. It was observed that healthcare professionals acquired in their practice knowledge on nosocomial infection and its prevention, but they have difficulty to incorporate those attitudes in the patient care. They tend to lay the occurrence on the casualty, the inadequate work conditions or look for someone to blame on. There is a rigid hierarchic division of work in the hospitals. The physicians perform the command of therapeutic and diagnostic actions, and they attribute nosocomial infections to the chances, associated to the severity of the patient. The nurses manage the care delivered to the patients. They attribute nosocomial infections to invasive procedures and failures of attention delivered to the patients. The auxiliaries deliver directly the assistance care and relate the infection cases to someone to blame, looking for identifying the professional or the action that led to contamination. Regarding to attitudes toward prevention and control of nosocomial infections, the healthcare professionals recognize that CCIH may be a source of scientific and epidemiological information, which helps them on the professional practice, although the roles are not clearly circumscribed and this generates conflicts or omissions. The physicians emphasize the consultancy to prescribe antibiotics. The nurses stress the scientific basis that is given to their doubts and standardizations. The auxiliaries report the classes given. The main problems mentioned are the deficiency of academic background related to the topic, the difficulty to work with a team, emergency situations, inefficient working board and patient overcrowding. CCIH is perceived as an institution of directory body assessment and it doesnt show the same rigor to propose corrective attitudes to enclose the directory body, as it does with auxiliaries and technicians, mainly in situations of higher infection incidence. CCIH is also seen as an inspection and punishment institution. Although professionals dont have specific academic background in infection control, they acquire it in their practice

O RU proposto terá como diferencial a qualidade, tanto no ambiente, quanto na alimentação oferecida, cuidando para que o fornecimento de refeições seja saudável e de baixo custo para alunos e servidores. A pesquisa foi realizada junto à comunidade acadêmica da UFF, UFRJ e UFRRJ. Investigou-se o perfil dos usuários e também a qualidade das refeições oferecidas e a operação de serviços dos RUs. Constatou-se que as normas do mercado de refeições coletivas tem como finalidade a produção de alimentos balanceados nutricionalmente, seguindo os padrões higiênicos e sanitários, propostos no manual de boas práticas da ANVISA. Observou-se também, que os restaurantes universitários têm representatividade na comunidade acadêmica, pois auxiliam no avanço de atividades da pesquisa, ensino e extensão, reduzindo os índices de evasão acadêmica e promovendo a formação de alunos de graduação. O estudo busca o entendimento do processo de um serviço que visa oferecer refeições diárias de qualidade aos alunos e servidores do CEFET/RJ, garantindo o menor custo de produção e, consequentemente, menor preço para o consumo e ao mesmo tempo, elevar o conceito da universidade quanto aos requisitos, refeitório e alimentação dos alunos. Conclui-se que os principais fatores que importarão na escolha do local para este RU, são os aspectos gerais do local e do prédio escolhido, espaço físico, estacionamento, instalações gerais, iluminação, controle de temperatura, ventilação e áreas de serviço com acesso diferenciado, fluxos projetados para a produção e áreas de atendimento e acessibilidade. A pesquisa acena para a viabilidade da implantação do RU a partir da constatação dos requisitos necessários, desde que consideradas ás exigências legais. / This dissertation focuses on the creation of a collection of requirements for deployment of a university quality restaurant (RU) in CEFET/RJ, general aiming the implementation of a university restaurant in Maracanã’s headquarters. The RU proposed the differential will be quality, both in the environment and in food offered, making sure that the supply of meals would be healthy and low cost to students and servers. The survey was conducted by the academic community of the UFF, UFRJ and UFRRJ. The profile of users and also the quality of meals offered and the services operation of the RUs were investigated. It was noted that standards of the collective meals market has as purpose the production of nutritionally balanced food, following hygienic and health standards, proposed in good practice manual of ANVISA. We also observed that the University restaurants have representation in the academic community, because it helps in the advancement of activities of research, teaching and extension, reducing academic evasion rates and promoting the formation of undergraduates. The study seeks to understand the process of a service that aims to provide quality meals to CEFET/RJ’s students and servers, ensuring lower cost of production and, consequently, lower price for consumption and at the same time, promote the concept of the University about requirements, cafeteria and nutrition of the students. It is concluded that the main factors that will import in the choice of location for this RU, are the General aspects of the site and the building chosen, physical space, parking, General installations, lighting, temperature control, ventilation and service areas with differentiated access, streams designed for production and service areas and accessibility. The survey wave to the feasibility of the deployment of the RU from the verification of the requirements, since they regarded to legal requirements.

The focus has moved from device-oriented management to service-oriented management. Currently, small and large companies demand an IT infrastructure to support their business, and such infrasctructure has to be monitored. Quantitative metrics should be measured and used to get a feedback about the IT environment functionalities. This work proposes a web-based network service management system that use open standards and free software to help the practice of Service Level Management (SLM) at IT environments. A metric here named Service Availability Index - is presented as a way to measure the IT environment system functionalities. To validate the prototype developed for the system proposed, a case study is presented and the main results are analyzed. / Devido ao crescimento da complexidade das redes e aplicações e à necessidade de serviços de TI (Tecnologia da Informação) distribuídos, houve uma mudança na forma pela qual os sistemas são gerenciados. O foco moveu-se da gerência orientada a dispositivos para a gerência orientada a serviços. Atualmente, pequenas e grandes organizações precisam de uma infra-estrutura de TI para suportar seus negócios, e esta infra-estrutura deve ser monitorada a fim de garantir o seu bom funcionamento. Métricas quantitativas devem ser medidas e utilizadas para se obter um feedback a respeito do funcionamento do ambiente de TI. Este trabalho propõe um sistema de gerência de serviços de rede, baseado em web, que utiliza padrões abertos e software livre, para ajudar na prática do Gerenciamento de Nível de Serviço (SLM Service Level Management) em ambientes de TI. Uma métrica aqui chamada de Índice de Disponibilidade de Sistema - IDS é considerada como uma maneira de medir a funcionalidade dos sistemas de ambientes de TI.
