Management Case Study

This study aimed to identify and analyze the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of the management of medical-care equipment at the Hospital of Federal University of Minas Gerais (HC-UFMG) in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. To achieve this goal, a case study was performed along with a field research at HC-UFMG, through interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire to professionals who handle and operate medical-care equipment; professionals who provide maintenance on equipment, and professionals who manage the operation and maintenance of equipment. As a strategy for discussion of the results, the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) was used supported by the analysis of the Central Idea (CI) of each question or question groups. According to the CSD results, it was possible to identify factors that contribute to the effectiveness of the management of medical-care equipment, such as: professional qualification; practical knowledge; work professionalization; supervision focused on evaluation, development, results and continuous improvement; professional updating and technical support; individual accountability; adequate infrastructure; and implementation of equipment management planning. These factors indicate, to the institutions, opportunities of culture change and organizational growth.

O tempo é considerado um bem cada vez mais escasso, difícil de entender e de administrar, diante do qual as pressões e demandas do dia a dia podem representar fontes de prazer e sofrimento aos indivíduos, especialmente jovens trabalhadores, frente suas peculiaridades. Dado isto, o objetivo deste trabalho consiste em analisar as percepções temporais e as vivências de prazer e sofrimento no trabalho de jovens trabalhadores assistidos pela Associação de Ensino Social Profissionalizante (ESPRO). Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo de caso por meio de uma pesquisa de campo, descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com 22 jovens trabalhadores assistidos pelo ESPRO, da filial de Belo Horizonte (MG). Os dados foram tratados por meio de análise de conteúdo e os resultados demonstraram que as dimensões temporais apresentadas (comportamentos predominantemente monocrônicos, rápidos, pontuais, atrelados ao futuro e arrastado por terceiros) e as vivências de prazer e sofrimento (contexto de trabalho positivo, baixos riscos/custos, elevado prazer, baixo sofrimento, baixos danos) possuem relações entre si, apesar do fato de que as preferências demonstradas em relação ao tempo nem sempre coincidem com a prática laboral que lhes é imposta.Time is considered an asset that is increasingly scarce, difficult to understand and administer, in which the pressures and demands of daily life can be a source of pleasure and suffering for individuals, especially young workers, in face of their peculiarities. Given this, the objective of this work is to analyze the temporal perceptions and the experiences of pleasure and suffering in the work of young workers assisted by the Association of Professional Social Teaching (ESPRO). For that, a case study was carried out through a descriptive field research with a qualitative approach. Data collection was done through semi-structured interviews with 22 young workers assisted by ESPRO, from the Belo Horizonte branch (MG). The data were treated by means of content analysis and the results showed that the temporal dimensions presented (predominantly monocronic, fast, punctual, future-bound and third-party behaviors) and the experiences of pleasure and suffering (positive work context, low risks, costs, pleasure, little suffering, low damages) have relationships with each other, despite the fact that the preferences demonstrated over time do not always coincide with the work practice imposed on them.

Devido à ausência de sistemas de drenagem eficientes e aos altos índices pluviométricos em determinados períodos do ano, eventos de inundação no mundo e no Brasil, e, principalmente, em Belo Horizonte-MG,  têm sido observados com muita frequência. À vista disso, este trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver a modelagem hidráulica de um canal em meio urbano visando a discussão sobre a sua capacidade de drenagem e minimização de incertezas, relacionadas ao escoamento de água no canal em eventos extremos. Para a elaboração dos mapas e delineamento do canal foi utilizado o software ArcGIS, com suas extensões ArcHydro e HEC-GeoRAS. Além disso, para aplicação dos dados geométricos e hidráulicos das seções, e simulações hidráulicas, foi empregado o software HEC-RAS. Como resultado do estudo, teve-se a comprovação, quantitativa, da influência do coeficiente de Manning no escoamento do canal e pôde-se também, determinar, por meio de um conjunto de vazões críticas, trechos do curso d’água mais susceptíveis à inundação.  Observou-se que, quanto menores os valores dos coeficientes de Manning das seções, maiores são suas vazões críticas, ou seja, para corpos hídricos canalizados por obras com revestimento e com acabamento, as vazões necessárias para as seções inundar possuem valores mais altos, justamente, pelo menor atrito do material de revestimento com o fluxo de água; enquanto que, para canais naturais, as vazões determinantes para a ocorrência de inundação da seção, são menores, pela maior potencialidade da vegetação e do solo em resistir ao escoamento. Flooding Area Simulation through Hydraulic Modeling in the Urban Channel: Case Study Jatobá Stream, in Belo Horizonte, Minas GeraisA B S T R A C TDue to the absence of efficient drainage systems and high rainfall rates at certain times of the year, flood events in the world and in Brazil, and especially in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, have been observed very frequently. In view of this, this work aimed to develop the hydraulic modeling of an urban canal in order to discuss its drainage capacity and minimize uncertainties related to water runoff in extreme events.For the maps elaboration and the channel drawing was used the ArcGIS software with its extensions ArcHydro and HEC-GeoRAS. The HEC-RAS software was used to apply the geometric and hydraulic sections data and for hydraulic simulations. As a result of the study, the influence of the Manning coefficient on the flow of a channel was quantitatively verified. Through a set of critical flows, it was also possible to determine the most susceptible to flooding watercourse stretches. In this case, it was observed that the smaller the values of the Manning coefficients of the sections, the higher their critical flow rates, that is, for water bodies piped by coated and finished works, the flow rates needed to flood the sections have higher values high due to the lower friction of the coating material with water flow; whereas, for natural channels, the water volumes per unit of time, which are determinant for the sections flooding, were smallers, precisely because of the greater capacity of the vegetation and soil to resist runoff.Keywords: hidraulic modelling, HEC-RAS, urban floods.

Intensive manual labor enterprises in the developed world face challenges competing with products imported from countries where manufacturing costs are low. This reduces the volume of domestic production and leads to rapid loss of knowledge and experience in production processes. This study focuses on the Israeli footwear industry as a case study. Qualitative methodologies were applied, including in-depth interviews and field observations. A literature review on previous research, and contemporary trends was conducted. The field research examines challenges along the value chain in small factories. It finds that mass production paradigms impose a decentralized process between designers and manufacturers and therefore do not leverage local potential into a sustainable competitive advantage for small factories. The proposed solution is a digital and technological platform for small manufacturing plants. The platform mediates and designs the connections between production, technology, and design and enables the creation of a joint R&D system.

O objetivo é averiguar a correlação dos fatores motivacionais e produtivos no contexto institucional da Polícia Civil. O estudo de caso foi conduzido por entrevistas em profundidade com um Delegado de Polícia, um Investigador de Polícia, e um Escrivão de Polícia. A análise de conteúdo foi utilizada. Conclui-se que há evidente correlação entre o desenvolvimento de artefatos motivacionais, sejam eles de ordem ambiental ou individual, com a produtividade na instituição da Polícia Civil. Destaca-se também, que apesar do controle e avaliação dos índices de produtividade serem predominantemente burocráticos, institucionalizados e legitimados, a ligação que se estabelece com a manifestação dos artefatos motivacionais é subjetiva, relacional e intangível nas normas institucionais. Destaca-se este evento neste artigo, porque como foi visto anteriormente, tanto a natureza do trabalho, quanto o ambiente da Polícia Civil, estão em total desencontro ao desenvolvimento de produtividade e motivação no sentido clássico destas vertentes. The aims is to determine the correlation of the motivational and productive factors in the institutional context of the Civil Police. The case study was conducted by in-depth interviews with a Chief of Police, Police Investigator, and Actuary Police. The content analysis was used for fixed grid. It is concluded that there is clear correlation between the development of motivational artifacts, whether environmental or individual order, with productivity in the civil police institution. Also noteworthy is that despite the control and evaluation of productivity indexes were predominantly bureaucratic, institutionalized and legitimized, the connection that is established with the manifestation of motivational artifacts is subjective, relational and intangible assets in the institutional rules. It highlights this event in this article, because as discussed above, both the nature of the work, as the environment of the Civil Police, are in complete disagreement with the development of productivity and motivation in the classical sense of the aforementioned areas.
