Sistema de gestão da qualidade como eixo de sustentação para organizações em transformação : o caso da CTEEP/CESP / Quality management system as support axis for companies in transformation

Ferreira, Ana Glaucia Vasconcelos 31 July 2018 (has links)
Orientador: Maria Carolina de Azevedo Ferreira de Souza / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia Mecanica / Made available in DSpace on 2018-07-31T18:19:47Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Ferreira_AnaGlauciaVasconcelos_M.pdf: 7261742 bytes, checksum: 71d24f5259fc7ce4c92c159af99e0cdc (MD5) Previous issue date: 2001 / Resumo: A reestruturação do Setor Elétrico nacional e o processo de privatização parcial das energéticas de São Paulo trouxeram para as empresas estatais de geração, transmissão e distribuição de energia elétrica, a necessidade de adotar um posicionamento competitivo no novo mercado de energia, menos estável e menos estruturado, no qual novas variáveis foram inseridas. No caso da CTEEP - Companhia de Transmissão de Energia Elétrica Paulista (empresa originária da cisão parcial da CESP - Companhia Energética de São Paulo e que permaneceu estatal), a preparação para esse processo exigiu a adoção de estratégias que foram muito além da reestruturação e cisão. A principal preocupação foi a de preservar sua posição no mercado, de forma competitiva e saudável. A possibilidade de prever as mudanças e de preparar-se antecipadamente para elas foi um fator determinante para que todo o processo pudesse ser realizado sem traumas internos, por meio de um posicionamento flexível e adaptável. A operacionalização das mudanças teve como eixo de sustentação a Gestão da Qualidade que, tomada num sentido mais amplo, integra elementos de diversas Teorias da Administração, do Desenvolvimento Organizacional, da Cultura Organizacional e da Abordagem Sistêmica, além de considerar os aspectos técnicos e os parâmetros específicos da gestão setorial. Sob essa perspectiva, o Sistema de Gestão da Qualidade implementado na empresa extrapola o objetivo de padronização dos processos e assume a função de facilitar e estimular o processo interno de aprendizado organizacional contínuo e de compartilhamento do "saber organizacional" . A análise da evolução histórica e da transformação empresarial mostra a aplicabilidade dos conceitos da Gestão da Qualidade na organização. Ainda que seja uma empresa estatal, que não está isenta do atendimento à legislação, aos tribunais de contas e às questões políticas, advindas de sua constituição societária, é possível observar o modo como o Sistema de Gestão da Qualidade pode ajudar a preservar e ampliar o conjunto de recursos existentes na empresa, apesar da intensidade e dimensão das mudanças por meio de estratégias / Abstract: The rebuilding ofthe National Electricity generating segment and the partial privatization of electric power mills of São Paulo have brought to the State Companies (Companies of electrical energy, transmition, and distribution of electricity) the need of adopting a competitive position in the new-bom power market, less steady and less prepared, in which new approaches have been inserted. In the CTEEP - (Company ofElectricity Transmission), the company which had its origin in the partial breaking off of the CESP (Electrical Power Company of São Paulo), and that remained a state Company. The preparation for this process required the adoption of strategies which went beyond the rebuilding and the rupture. The main objective was to keep its position in the market, in a very healthy and competitive way. The possibility of, in advance, changing, and getting ready for them was a decisive factor for the whole process to be achieved without any traumas inside, through an adjustable and flexible position. The operating process of the changes had as a support the Quality Management, which seen in a wider sense, integrate elements from several Administration Theories, of the organizational Development, and of the systematic approach, besides taking into consideration the technical features, and the "specific limits" ofthe management of sectors. Under this outlook the Management Quality System which has been improved in the company goes beyond the process standardizing, and has the function of simplifying and busting the internal process of organizationallearning, and also the sharing of "organizational wareness". The analysis of the historical evolution, and of entrepreunership transformation shows the aplicability of the Concepts of Quality Management in the Company sectors. As a State Company though, it is not free from obeying the law regulations,from answering the National Treasure, and the political questions, alI ofwhich are originated in its constitution of associates. It's not difticult to notice how much the Quality Management System can help to keep and widen the set of existing resources in the company, in spite of the intensity and dimension of the strategical . changes that sometimes become necessary / Mestrado / Gestão da Qualidade Total / Mestre Profissional em Engenharia Mecanica

Orientador: Messias Borges Silva / Coorientador: João Paulo Estevam de Souza / Banca: Otávio José de Oliveira / Banca: Marco Antonio Carvalho Pereira / Resumo: Esta pesquisa tem como objetivos verificar a similaridade de requisitos entre os modelos Americano, Europeu e Brasileiro de excelência em gestão e o sistema de gestão da qualidade baseado na norma ISO 9001:2015 e verificar qual o nível de aderência das empresas brasileiras do setor aeronáutico quanto a estes modelos. Para a realização da pesquisa foi utilizado o método Survey. Constatou-se que existem similaridades entre os requisitos dos modelos de excelência Americano, Europeu e o Brasileiro e os requisitos similares são: gestão da liderança, processos e resultados do negócio. Foi possível identificar uma aproximação entre o modelo de excelência em gestão Brasileiro e a ISO 9001, especialmente a partir da versão 2015 da norma. Quanto ao nível de aderência dos requisitos nas atuais empresas manufatureiras do setor aeronáutico, os resultados mostram que 90.4% das empresas-respondentes, concordam parcialmente ou totalmente quanto às práticas propostas pelo modelo de excelência em gestão e os itens que apresentaram maior nível de aderência foram: o mapeamento de processos, a utilização dos indicadores de desempenho que mede a satisfação do cliente e a conformidade do produto. Também foi verificado que as principais melhorias percebidas no ambiente empresarial foram a aprendizagem organizacional, a cultura de excelência e a melhora da competitividade e sustentabilidade do negócio / Abstract: This research aims to verify the similarity of requirements between the American, European and Brazilian models of management excellence and the quality management system based on ISO 9001:2015 and the adherence level of Brazilian aeronautical companies to these models. In this research the method survey was used. The research found that there are similarities between the requirements of the global business excellence models and the Brazilian excellence model, and these similar requirements are: leadership management, processes, and business results. It was possible to identify an approximation between the Brazilian model of excellence and the ISO 9001, especially since the 2015 version of the standard. Regarding the level of adherence of the requirements in the current aeronautical manufacturing companies, the results show that the 90.4% of respondents, agree partially or totally on the practices proposed by the model of excellence in management. And, the items that presented the highest level of adherence were: the mapping of processes, the use of performance indicators that measure customer satisfaction and product compliance. It was also verified that the main improvements perceived in the business environment were the organizational learning, the culture of excellence and the improvement of the competitiveness and sustainability of the business / Mestre

Arbetsflöde inom en dynamisk bransch / Workflow within a dynamic industry

Roos, Elsa, Lindvall, Amanda January 2024 (has links)
Studien har genomförts på Nybergs Entreprenad verksamma inom byggbranschen. Byggbranschen påverkas kraftigt av omvärlden och effekter av konkurrens, varierande efterfrågan och det ekonomiska läget i världen. Flera omvärldsfaktorer bidrar därför till att organisationen ser ett stort behov av att vara dynamiska inom deras struktur av tjänstemän samt inom arbetsflödet. Syftet med studien är att kartlägga tjänstemännens arbetsflöde inom Projektprocessen. Studien har genomförts med datainsamlingsmetoderna intervjuer samt dokumentgranskning. I resultatets Ishikawadiagram kan det utläsas att tjänstemännens arbetsflöde inom Projektprocessen påverkas av både interna och externa faktorer, vilket medför svårigheter att kartlägga ett definitivt arbetsflöde. Utifrån studiens datainsamlingsmetoder har därför en alternativ kartläggning av Projektprocessens aktiviteter och tjänstemännens involvering tagits fram och presenteras i ett blockdiagram. Slutligen presenteras tidsfördelningen och antal involverade tjänstemän, baserat på 29 olika projekt, i stapeldiagram. Studiens resultat har därefter analyserats med hjälp av teorier och modeller inom kvalitetsteknik med fokus på Total Quality Management (TQM). Det kvalitetstekniska området kompletteras med teorier inom olika typer av organisationer. Övergripande slutsatser visar att tjänstemännens involvering samt tidsfördelning i olika projektfaser inom arbetsflödet påverkas av flera faktorer och kan därför variera. Den kartläggning av arbetsflödet som presenteras kan därför anses vara en alternativ och inte en definitiv kartläggning. Dessutom kan det potentiellt förekomma fler faktorer än de studien redogjort för. Ytterligare studier inom området anses därför vara en förutsättning för att kartlägga en mer ingående version av arbetsflödet. Organisationen skulle därför kunna inhämta data och skapa förståelse för variationer inom arbetsflödet, för att identifiera åtgärder och bemöta den dynamiska branschen. / The study has been conducted at Nybergs Entreprenad, operating in the construction industry heavily affected by external factors such as competition, varying demand and the global economic situation. Several external factors contribute to the organization’s recognition of a need to be dynamic within their structure of employees and workflow. The purpose of the study is to map the workflow of employees within the Project process. The study was conducted collecting data by interviews and document reviews. The results show that the workflow of the employees within the Project process is affected by internal and external factors, making it difficult to map a definitive workflow. Therefore, an alternative mapping of the activities in the Project process and the involvement of employees is presented in a swimlane flowchart. The distribution of time and number of involved employees is presented in bar charts. The study’s results have been analyzed using theories and models in quality technology focusing on Total Quality Management, complemented by theories on different types of organizations. Overall conclusions show that the involvement of employees and the distribution of time in different project phases within the workflow are affected by several factors and can therefore vary. The workflow mapping presented can thus be considered an alternative and not a definitive mapping. Further studies are therefore considered necessary to map a more detailed version of the workflow. The organization could gather data and gain an understanding of variations within the workflow to identify actions and address the dynamic industry.
