▼ For over 30 years, authors have documented continuous improvement techniques that can help to improve the performance of the manufacturing sector. However, recent research has found that the uptake of these available techniques for the purpose of improving business performance is comparatively low as a result of barriers preventing their adoption by manufacturing SMEs. The aim and focus of this research is to develop a user-friendly framework which would guide both industry practitioners and other researchers to achieve business process improvements in an SME manufacturing environment. The framework developed in this study consists of four stages: 1) review of the current process to be improved; 2) identification of possible improvement in terms of prompts; 3) knowledge know-how to support transfer of proven continuous improvement techniques; and 4) continual review of the process to quantify the improvements. The framework uses a combination of three continuous improvement techniques: histograms, brainstorming and Five Whys to identify actions for management implementation. Such techniques have been merged to speed up and simplify the process of root cause analysis, thus encouraging SMEs to document their successes. This will enable other SMEs to learn from their experiences as well as from the knowledge gained by being part of the communities of practice. The methodology used in this research is mixed methodology and involves a combination of literature review, pilot study, a postal questionnaire with 50 respondents and two case studies. These case studies were then used to validate the framework, based on five structured interviews. Case studies involving two manufacturing SMEs include manufacturers of high-volume, low-cost components and low-volume, high-cost components. It was concluded that the root cause of a problem can be found by using: brainstorming, histograms and Five Whys. Sometimes, it was also possible to merge these techniques as one, thus reducing the analysis time. The case studies generated substantial savings, £27,500 and £1,366,055 for SME 1 and 2 respectively. Overall the benefits of the framework to SMEs include: using the developed user-friendly framework for improved business performance, knowledge transfer of learning continuous improvement techniques, learning about other SME successes and potential cost savings that could accrue for SMEs when they apply it. The framework developed in this research, therefore, has reduced some of the barriers which have prevented uptake of innovative techniques over the last 30 years.

▼ Continuous Improvement (CI) is an integral part of hospital administration. This study examined the relationship between five CI variables against six hospital criterion measures of, wait times to prepare a room, patient costs per day, waiting time for lab results, reportable errors, patient satisfaction, and employee satisfaction. The research was conducted using information gathered from 17 returned surveys out of a possible of 206 hospitals in three northwestern states. A survey was developed and administered to provide hospital level assessments of five CI variables and six hospital performance measures. Differences between efficiency and effectiveness CI tool usage were also investigated. Differences in tool usage between large, medium, and small hospital size groupings were also investigated. A statistically significant difference was observed between small, medium, and large hospitals in their responses to this survey. There were 12 significant correlations reported between specific CI tools and individual hospital performance measures. Nine of these significant correlations indicated poorer results for those hospitals that reported more frequently CI tool usage than those hospitals that did not. For hospitals, the findings of this study indicated that the majority of the hypotheses did not support the strongly held and prevailing notion that the more individuals trained in CI tools and implementation practices the more the employee will be actively involved in continuous improvement. The results of this study also did not support some of the prevailing ideas related to the use of CI tools and implementation practices and performance improvement. Support was found to indicate that for the participants in this study, effectiveness tools were used more than efficiency tools. The results of this study also supported some previous research indicating that organizational size may be an important factor in the level of application of CI tools.

▼ This research presents results of innovation management practices and sustainability of continuous improvement. Innovation is recognized as a growth tool for economies in general however not all economy sectors have innovation as a strategy. This research served as a case study to analyze how innovation is managed within innovative firms to help less innovative sectors, such as the wood products industry, to become profitable. Among the observed innovation management practices, this study was able to identify the use of continuous improvement to support incremental innovation. Although, continuous improvement is well known and accepted, there are still challenges to reach a sustainable state of continuous improvement. This research also addresses the difficulty in sustaining continuous improvement through a longitudinal case study. A literature review was conducted to identify factors influencing the sustainability of the continuous improvement. These factors were gathered within a research framework which functioned as the main source to establish the questionnaire used as the research tool. Utilizing this tool, the study evaluated the hypotheses relating to the effects of time, location and company type on the behavior of the enabling and inhibiting factors, and the relationships among them. Results demonstrated that time has no effect on factors affecting the sustainability of the continuous improvement, although changes affect how the factors are perceived as success factors in sustaining continuous improvement. The study also concluded that type of company and location impact how the inhibiting and enabling factors are perceived as supporters of the sustainability of the continuous improvement. Finally, the study revealed that these factors are correlated among them, thus sustainability is the result of a dynamic multifactor process rather that an unique factor. In addition to this new framework, the study also developed a self-assessment tool to be used for continuous improvement practitioners. With this tool, the new developed framework can be continuously monitored and proper and informed action can be taken by managers to address any observed gap in sustaining continuous improvement. Finally, the study also brings an example of interdisciplinary research which gathers quantitative methods from the statistics field, and qualitative methods from the business and social science fields.

▼ O método Toyota Kata distingue-se das técnicas aplicadas a produção, pois apenas refere-se ao comportamento das pessoas. O mesmo é aplicado para desenvolver a maneira de pensar e a habilidade de cada operador da organização em situações incertas e que possam conseguir desenvolver soluções sistemáticas e cientificas no seu campo de trabalho. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de reduzir o consumo de tinta em 20% num processo de pintura utilizando o método Toyota Kata. Trata-se de um processo de pintura de tanque combustível de motocicletas, em uma empresa do polo de duas rodas no distrito industrial de Manaus. Foram realizadas revisões das instruções de trabalho incluíndo as operações padrão com as pistolas eletrostáticas (equipamento este utilizado no processo de pintura manual). Criou-se através de uma necessidade de treinamento específico para aprimorar os pintores um simulador em formato painel com luz led que acendem em seis tipos de níveis de dificuldades, que busca aprimorar o aprendizado atribuindo os principios elaborados para o processo de pintura. O desenvolvimento do simulador de pintura foi sendo estudado em cada detalhe, como por exemplo a velocidade padrão de aplicação que é de 500 a 700 mm/seg. As alterações realizadas ao longo do desenvolvimento foram feitas para melhorar o aprendizado dos pintores, principalmente na criação dos níveis de dificuldade, pois isto permitiu classificar os níveis de cada pintor, bem como sua evolução conforme os treinamentos. Os resultados são expressos nos indicadores, o índice de defeitos provocados por má aplicação diminuiu de 9,55% para 0,55% devido os retrabalhos gerados por defeitos como pouca tinta, escorrido e casca de laranja (tonalização de tinta diferente do padrão) passarem a serem menores pois o aperfeiçoamento com a nova maneira de entender os princípios de pintura através do simulador torna-se mais fácil e o indicador de consumo de tinta surpreender a expectativa do objetivo alcançando uma redução de 50,68%, o resultado alcançado atribuido a um novo espirito de equipe e de buscar novas soluções para o processo de pintura industrial.

As aceleradas mudanças no ambiente econômico, de mercado e tecnológico, exigem das empresas novos modelos de gestão que proporciona a melhoria dos produtos, processos, serviços e sistemas de gestão, para sobrevivência e crescimento do negócio. Neste sentido, as empresas vêm implementando atividades que, formal ou informalmente, de modo estruturado ou não, permitem o aprimoramento, ou seja a busca pela melhoria do desempenho global e, consequentemente, de vantagens competitivas sustentadas no tempo. O objetivo desta dissertação é apresentar uma proposta para estruturação da gestão da melhoria contínua em uma empresa brasileira fabricante de bebidas. As práticas de melhoria contínua na empresa, implementadas de forma não articulada aos objetivos do negócio e informal, inviabilizando a sua sustentação a longo prazo, somados à conceituação de que não existem modelos de gestão da melhoria contínua prontos para implementação nas empresas, pois os modelos devem ser adaptados às circunstâncias e necessidades de cada empresa, motivaram o desenvolvimento da proposta. O trabalho foi conduzido utilizando-se o método de pesquisa-ação, pois busca elaborar uma proposta baseada em problemas reais e com ampla participação na busca da solução, por meio de interação entre pesquisador e membros da empresa. A revisão bibliográfica permitiu identificar alguns modelos para gerenciamento das atividades de melhoria contínua, sendo que cabe às empresas identificarem o modelo mais adequado a suas necessidades e especificidades. A revisão bibliográfica e o diagnóstico realizado na empresa, por meio da pesquisa-ação, permitiram a formulação do problema organizacional e o desenvolvimento de uma proposta para estruturação da gestão da melhoria contínua alinhada aos objetivos estratégicos e às especificidades da empresa. Também foram elaboradas recomendações para implantação da proposta. Esta proposta compreende, de maneira sintetizada, quatro elementos-chave: - Formalização do processo de Melhoria Contínua (MC); - Alinhamento às Estratégias da Empresa; - Criação de Ambiente e Motivação para MC e; - Desenvolvimento da Capacidade da MC, que permitem a integração das atividades de melhoria contínua e o alinhamento aos objetivos estratégicos da empresa. De modo geral as atividades recomendadas à empresa para implantação da proposta, compreendem adequações de responsabilidades e revisões de processos e atividades já existentes na empresa, a fim de sistematizar e integrar a gestão das atividades de melhoria contínua, contribuindo para o aprendizado organizacional e amadurecimento do sistema de gestão.

Due to fast changes in the economic, market, and technological environment, there is a demand of new management models aiming to improve products, processes, services and management systems in order to make business performance sustainable and provides a platform of growth. Therefore, companies have been implementing activities, formal or informal, structured or not, which in some way it results into an improvement, a progress of large-scale action,…

Därmed har konceptet implementerats i allt fler västerländska resultatstyrda organisationer, vars parametrar för kontroll skiljer sig mot de lean production utgår från. Dess innebörd sträcker sig över stora delar av en organisation, vilket bidrar till begreppets komplexitet. Lean production förväntas ge upphov till continuous improvement samt elimination of waste. Utifrån detta har forskare formulerat 14 principer vilka sammanfattas i The Toyota Way model. För att erbjuda fler perspektiv till insamlad empiri har the Toyota Way model använts som ett ramverk tillsammans med tre olika kategorier för kontroll: effekt- beteende- samt social styrning. Denna studie syftar dels till att identifiera formen av continuous improvement i företaget Ardaghs organisation, samt relationen mellan traditionella styrmedel och lean production. Studien tillämpar ett pragmatiskt förhållningssätt, med målet att insamlad empiri ska förklara den teoretiska referensramen. Empirin samlades in genom observationer, samtal och dokumentation från tre olika delar av Ardaghs verksamhet: administrationen, styrningen och produktionen. Den empirika datan samlades in med continuous improvement och interna kontrollprocesser i åtanke. Studiens resultat indikerade att det i Ardaghs verksamhet förekom olika former av continuous improvement och konflikter mellan kontrollprocesser. Formerna sammanfattas i studiens resultat genom två olika aspekter: den filosofiska och den instrumentella. Den filosofiska aspektens utgångspunkt återfinns främst i lean productions grundförutsättningar, såsom långsiktiga visioner, empowerment och strategier för att uppnå effektiviseringsvinster. Den instrumentella aspekten kretsar främst kring hur lean-verktyg påverkar en organisations självbild, samt hur traditionell budgetstyrning tenderar att hamna i konflikt med lean productions metoder för kontroll.

Mestrado em Gestão e Estratégia Industrial

A qualidade apresenta-se atualmente como um vértice cada vez mais fulcral, tanto para empresas como para consumidores individuais. Consumidores e mercados estão cada vez mais informados e exigentes, no que diz respeito à qualidade pretendida em cada oferta de valor. Porém, para que haja um aumento da qualidade, sem que ocorra um aumento de custos associados, deverá ocorrer uma melhoria de forma contínua - Kaizen. O presente trabalho ambiciona contribuir para um maior conhecimento da filosofia Kaizen. Para tal, pretende-se compreender o impacto da sua aplicação na indústria, identificando qual a perceção dos colaboradores da empresa portuguesa Tesco relativamente à mesma. Desta forma, foram recolhidos 30 inquéritos pelos trabalhadores da empresa Tesco, com o intuito de depreender qual o conhecimento geral sobre a filosofia Kaizen, e de que modo esta teve implicações no dia-a-dia da empresa e nas suas operações. Dos resultados obtidos, é de realçar que, de uma maneira geral, todos os trabalhadores da Tesco estão satisfeitos com o Kaizen e com o impacto que a sua aplicação teve nas suas tarefas diárias. A valorização de cada recurso humano foi claramente essencial para o sucesso desta filosofia.

Quality is actually viewed as a main structure - both for companies and individual consumers. Consumers and markets are increasingly informed about what they consider to be the component "quality" in the value proposal. However, for there to be an increase in quality that occurs without an increase in costs, an improvement should occur continuously - Kaizen. The present work aims to contribute to a better understanding of the Kai¬zen's philosophy. Furthermore, it wants to understand the application impact in the industry, through the perception from the employees of the Portuguese company Tesco. This way, 30 surveys were collected by the Tesco's employees, in order to deduce what the general knowledge about the Kaizen philosophy, and how it had an impact on day-to-day business and operations. From our results, in general, all of Tesco's employees are satisfied with Kaizen's philosophy and with the impact that its application has had on their dairly taks. The value of each Human Resource was clearly essential to the success of this philosophy.

▼ Diversos autores apontam a inovação como uma atividade crítica para todas as empresas inseridas num contexto concorrencial, pois ela orienta a estratégica da empresa, direciona a alocação de recursos e influencia os indicadores de desempenho. Como os altos investimentos em P&D não são suficientes para assegurar o sucesso de seus produtos, o diferencial competitivo das organizações não estaria relacionado apenas às grandes diferenças de conhecimento tecnológico, mas a maneira como cada uma delas aperfeiçoa os seus processos internos para implementar um novo produto. Esta condição reforça o papel das áreas funcionais periféricas, na construção de um ambiente inovador, não apenas modificando o desempenho da organização, mas também o impulsionando. Mas como será a participação dessas áreas, por exemplo, as de facilidades (termo traduzido do anglo-saxão facilities management), que estão fora do eixo tradicional de P&D, nesse ambiente inovador? Elas inovam? Como suas inovações afetam o desempenho das empresas? O objeto de estudo da tese consistiu na caracterização das inovações e melhorias em facilidades e os impactos no desempenho das organizações. A hipótese principal foi que as inovações em facilidades afetariam diretamente a eficiência operacional e esta, por sua vez, os desempenhos financeiros, ou seja, as inovações em facilidades seriam intermediárias na obtenção dos resultados das operações. A pesquisa foi descritiva-relacional, quantitativa e qualitativa, utilizando triangulação metodológica. Os resultados foram obtidos por meio de casos coletados em campo durante a fase empírica, estudo de caso único e por questionários semiestruturados. Foram inquiridos 163 profissionais da área e analisadas 220 mudanças técnicas e organizacionais em facilidades, entre os anos de 2007 e 2010. Esperou-se com essa tese aprofundar os estudos da dinâmica das inovações e melhorias em facilidades; estender a teoria da inovação por meio da investigação das em facilidades e avançar na discussão do papel delas no desempenho organizacional, dando um novo significado à gestão de facilidades dentro da área de Operações. Os resultados da tese apontaram que as mudanças técnicas e organizacionais nas facilidades constituem melhorias e inovações que impactam principalmente os fatores de eficiência operacional - produtividade e meio ambiente e, indiretamente, os financeiros - lucro. Todavia, numa análise fatorial, pode-se notar a formação de conglomerados específicos chamados aqui de inovações e melhorias em facilidades para apoio à produtividade, sustentabilidade, qualidade e rentabilidade. Esses grupos indicam que as melhorias e inovações geradas em facilidades são oriundas de intensa relação entre parceiros, busca contínua pela redução de custos e aumento do ciclo de vida dos ativos e das infraestruturas de apoio das organizações. Constataram-se diferenças na composição, na dinâmica e no propósito dessas inovações e melhorias, revelando assim que as estratégias e gestões para o desenvolvimento e implantação dessas mudanças, nesses ambientes,… Advisors/Committee Members: Nascimento, Paulo Tromboni de Souza.

▼ A indústria automóvel é uma indústria muito competitiva e como tal as empresas nela inseridas têm de ter um nível competitivo muito elevado. O paradigma Lean Manufacturing surge como uma filosofia crucial a implementar na perspectiva de diminuir desperdícios e promover uma constante melhoria dos processos produtivos. Esta dissertação foi desenvolvida no âmbito do projeto final de curso do Mestrado em Engenharia Industrial da Universidade do Minho. O mesmo foi realizado na empresa TMG Automotive, situada em Guimarães. O objetivo do presente trabalho é implementar técnicas e princípios de produção Lean no processo de lacagem de estofos/revestimentos na indústria automóvel, mais especificamente SMED e 5S, de modo a proporcionar uma melhoria do sistema produtivo da TMG Automotive, mais concretamente no que diz respeito ao desempenho do processo de lacagem. Numa fase inicial foi realizada uma análise do processo de lacagem que permitiu recolher diversos dados como os tempos de setup, o modo operatório adotado e a organização e limpeza do local de trabalho, de modo a averiguar a fluidez do processo. De seguida, com base nos dados recolhidos, foram formuladas diversas propostas de melhoria, relacionadas com a metodologia SMED, na máquina de lacagem e, associadas com a metodologia 5S, na cozinha de lacas. Após a análise dos resultados referentes a essas mesmas melhorias, que se traduzem numa redução de 30 minutos de tempo de setup médio na máquina de lacagem e uma melhor organização e limpeza da cozinha de lacas, pode-se concluir que a aplicação das ferramentas selecionadas neste trabalho, e que têm por base o paradigma Lean Manufacturing, permitem um melhor desempenho e menos desperdícios do processo de lacagem. No final e verificando que, através da mudança de mentalidade nas pessoas que participam no processo de lacagem, a melhoria continua se encontra efetivamente presente, conclui-se que o projeto foi bem sucedido. São ainda lançadas algumas sugestões quanto a desenvolvimentos futuros. Advisors/Committee Members: Sousa, Rui M (advisor).

Apresentação no âmbito da Dissertação de Mestrado Orientador: Doutora Alcina Dias

A Administração Pública tem sido alvo de diversas modernizações e mudanças, através das quais foram introduzidas novas ferramentas de gestão e adotadas novas filosofias, nomeadamente ao nível da autoavaliação e da promoção da melhoria contínua da Qualidade dos serviços prestados. A qualidade é um dos pilares fundamentais da vida das Organizações e das Sociedades atuais, e mais do que um conceito é uma filosofia de gestão. A adoção desta filosofia nos serviços públicos pressupõe um esforço significativo de mudança nos padrões culturais vigentes na Administração Pública. O modelo de Estrutura Comum de Avaliação (CAF) foi criado com o objetivo de introduzir na Administração Pública os princípios da Gestão da Qualidade Total, nomeadamente, uma cultura de avaliação e melhoria contínua. Assim, a avaliação e autoavaliação do desempenho da Administração Pública tem ganho uma relevância crescente, no sentido de garantir um progresso permanente, o qual só é realizável através de uma reflexão acerca dos procedimentos implantados, que se propõem a suprir as necessidades e a dar resposta às exigências da sociedade atual. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho pretendeu desenvolver uma metodologia que evidenciasse que a aplicação do modelo CAF no serviço em estudo ajudou a promover o aumento da qualidade e consequentemente o aumento da satisfação dos clientes utilizadores do serviço. A metodologia desenvolvida foi aplicada através de um caso de estudo relativo ao serviço de Contas Correntes do Instituto da Segurança Social, I.P. do Porto. Como principais conclusões deste trabalho, ficou demostrado que, a aplicação do modelo CAF, proporciona um conjunto de instrumentos muito úteis, para o desenvolvimento de processos de melhoria da qualidade do serviço público, bem como conduz ao aumento da satisfação dos clientes relativamente ao serviço prestado.

Portuguese Public Administration has suffered several modernizations and changes, through which new management instruments and philosophy have been introduced, namely at the levels of self-evaluation and continuous improvement of the quality of the services provided. Quality is a management philosophy that has became fundamental for the current functioning of any Organization. The adoption of this philosophy in public services requires a significant effort to change the cultural patterns prevailing in Public Administration. The Common Assessment Framework (CAF) was created to introduce Total Quality Management principles in the Public Administration, mostly an assessment and continuous improvement culture. Thus, the assessment and self-assessment of the Public Administration performance has become more relevant in the sense that it guarantees a permanent progress. This is only possible by means of a reflection on the implemented practice, in order to meet the needs and respond to the demands of today`s society. In this context, the present work aims to develop a methodology that showed that the…

▼ The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (SA) set out its Vision 2030 of itself as a significant Knowledge Economy to position itself competitively in the world and in the Gulf region. The Government charged the education sector to prepare young people and build the creativity, innovation and technical skills for the country’s future. The Ministry of Education (MOE) selected TQM and has made strategic investments to achieve this strategic transformation in education. Despite this substantial investment in the infrastructure, teaching skills, information technology and advancement programmes for women to enter the workplace, the implementation of TQM has not so far delivered the outcomes expected in secondary schools (Bank, 2008; Chapman and Miric, 2009; TIMSS, 2011). This research proposes that a programme that primarily focuses on the hard aspects of change, without participatory leadership and without integrating the people concerned (as a soft programme would), cannot achieve sustainable transformation. An empirical study was designed to investigate staff perception of TQM implementation in girls’ secondary schools in the Kingdom. The 525 respondents from 61 schools in five districts of Riyadh suggest that the most pivotal critical success factors (CSFs) limiting the development of TQM culture were Top Management Commitment; Training; Tools and Techniques; and Reward and Recognition. The perception results were then used as the baseline to design a model that integrates the hard and soft CSFs of TQM in five stages of maturity. This assessment model could be used to support the schools and the MOE in objectively assessing the readiness of schools to implement TQM and identify the next major obstacles to reaching the next stage. The design approach of a maturity model is innovative in using context perception data as the baseline for designing the stages of maturity and the success factors the progress of change, making its use appropriate for the girls’ schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

▼ Esta dissertação de Mestrado em Engenharia Industrial da Universidade do Minho foi realizada na EFACEC, Energia S.A.. Esta empresa produz vários tipos de produtos, entre estes, transformadores para transferir energia de um circuito para outro, através de um campo magnético comum. O objetivo desta dissertação foi reduzir o tempo de montagem final de transformadores tipo CORE, através da aplicação de ferramentas Lean. Para realizar esta dissertação, usou-se uma metodologia investigação-ação que se inicia com um diagnóstico do sistema ou seção da empresa a estudar. Neste diagnóstico identificaram-se problemas e oportunidades de melhoria para reduzir o tempo de montagem dos transformadores CORE de 36MVA, foram delineadas alternativas de ação e apresentadas propostas de melhoria. Nestas propostas estiveram incluem-se algumas ferramentas Lean, aplicadas na secção em estudo. Na realização do diagnóstico, numa primeira fase foi feita uma observação direta no chão de fábrica, acompanhando-se os dois turnos, tendo sido possível desta forma observar todas as atividades que não acrescentavam valor. Esta fase de observação permitiu identificar possíveis abordagens mais eficazes para o alcance do objetivo de redução de tempo na montagem final de transformadores tipo CORE de 36MVA. Numa fase posterior foram apresentadas as propostas de melhoria para as situações detetadas anteriormente que incluíam problemas relacionados com o layout, com a desorganização de equipamentos e fluxo de materiais, e falta de feedback por parte da produção. Para os resolver usaram-se algumas ferramentas Lean como 5S, gestão visual e trabalho normalizado, e reorganização de layout. Como resultados das propostas sugeridas espera-se obter uma redução no tempo de montagem final por transformador de 86 minutos correspondendo a 163,80€. Em média produzem-se 110 transformadores por ano o que corresponde a 18018,00€. Adicionalmente, deu-se mais um passo no sentido de implementação de uma cultura Lean na empresa.

▼ The construction industry has faced severe criticism against its inefficiency, high costs and insufficient quality. Besides, the building branch is one of the most dangerous occupations.Skanska Sverige AB runs an international project focused mainly on improving safety, increasing overall process efficiency and providing customers higher value. A part of this project are Standard operating procedures. These are supposed to be the best practices known at the company and should be used on sites as stepwise work instructions.The purpose of this study was to study the creation of Standard operating procedures and to propose a model for continuous improvement of the Standard operating procedures.A theoretical review concerning standards, standardization and continuous improvement is presented.Four case studies were conducted in the thesis in order to clarify what and how to improve. The case studies show that inspiration can be taken from organizations within or outside the building trade. An important new element in Standard operating procedures would be a risk analysis. The risk evaluation corresponds with Skanska´s safety strives. In order to guarantee that a Standard operating procedure really contains the best practice, the process of continuous improvement has to be well managed. The process can be stimulated by the implementation and improvement management at “Väg och anläggning” Skanska.Based on the empirical study and the theoretical framework, a model illustrating continuous improvement is proposed. The never ending life spiral of a Standard operating procedure involves all the organizational levels. The model demonstrates that small stepwise improvements are more cost efficient than large radical changes.Advantages and risks connected to the continuous improvement are described. The benefits would be both monetary and non-monetary. The key success factor of continuous improvement is the proper implementation of Standard operating procedures since it is up to individuals to keep continuous improvement alive. Both the managers on different levels and workmen must be trained and their importance in continuous improvement process must be deep rooted in their thinking. Proper training and excellent leadership would diminish worker´s resistance and prevent an unwanted phase-out.Finally, Skanska is encouraged to trust its own research. The formal content of Standard operating procedures is good enough for launching.

Esta dissertação foi desenvolvida no âmbito da disciplina de dissertação/Projeto/Estágio do Mestrado de Engenharia Mecânica, especialização em gestão industrial do Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto, ISEP. O trabalho realizado resulta da sinergia entre uma instituição de ensino superior, o ISEP, e uma empresa ligada ao sector industrial, a Sunviauto. A Sunviauto é fabricante de assentos e componentes para auto, para vários sectores de mobilidade, entre os quais o setor automóvel. O estudo incide na melhoria do processo de fabrico de estampagem e conformação de tubo, composto por duas células de fabrico, denominadas XFA e JFC, localizadas no sector de conformação de tubo, da fábrica Sunviauto Estruturas (SVE). O objetivo do trabalho visava o aumento da capacidade instalada de produção das células de fabrico, recorrendo a ferramentas de análise e de melhoria continua e ao estudo de indicadores de desempenho, como o OEE. A realização deste trabalho em ambiente industrial demonstra a aplicação de conceitos teóricos (em parte abordados na revisão bibliográfica), a interação com equipas de trabalho multidisciplinares incluindo entidades externas, tais como fornecedores de equipamentos e a importância da observação do decorrer dos trabalhos nas células de fabrico na identificação de oportunidades de melhoria.

This study, was developed within thesis/ Project/ Internship of the Master degree of Mechanical Engineering – Industrial Management occurred on the Polytechnic of Porto, School of engineering, ISEP. The developed work had resulted from the synergy between ISEP and local industrial company, Sunviauto. Sunviauto, produce seats and automotive parts for several mobility sectors, one of them the automotive sector. The case study focuses one manufacturing process of stamping and tube forming, that occurs in two manufacturing cells, XFA and JFC, that are located on tube forming area in Sunviauto Structures (SVE) facilities. The aim of this study is the production capacity improvement of manufacturing cells, XFA and JFC, through analysis and continuous improvements tools and some performance indicators, as OEE. The accomplishment of this work, in industrial environment, shows the theoretic concepts application (some of them approached in the literature review), the interaction with multidisciplinary work teams and external entities (as equipment suppliers), and the importance of monitoring the manufacturing process in order to achieve improvements.

O presente projeto centra-se, fundamentalmente, no estudo e intervenção prática com vista à redução do tempo de setup de uma CNC de curvar tubo existente na empresa DITA – Mobiliário para hotelaria e decoração Unip. Lda., que se dedica à produção de cadeiras e mesas. O projeto nasceu da necessidade da empresa em reduzir o tempo de setup do referido equipamento que causava um impacto negativo na disponibilidade e produtividade da máquina em questão. Para além deste projeto principal, foi proposto, também, fazer uma análise e melhoria do processo de embalamento de produto final. O trabalho foi desenvolvido com base na metodologia Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) que contempla 5 etapas. Ao longo do projeto foi estudada uma amostra significativa de setups da CNC e foi feito um estudo aprofundado de todas as tarefas realizadas. No final conseguiu-se uma redução do tempo geral de setup de cerca de 42% através da redução de tempo e eliminação de tarefas internas e externas e da aplicação de melhorias nestas tarefas. Para isto contribuiu a colocação das tarefas externas no início e no final do setup, a alocação de um segundo operador que ajuda em algumas tarefas internas, a normalização dos processos, a reorganização do layout da empresa e a reorganização dos elementos da máquina. O processo de embalamento também foi revisto. A aplicação de melhorias simples neste processo permitiu reduzir o tempo de embalamento para cerca de metade.

This work aims the reduction of setup time on a tube bending CNC machine that exists on the company DITA – Mobiliário para hotelaria e decoração Unip. Lda., which produces chairs and tables. This project was born with the need of the company to reduce the impact of the setup time of the CNC machine on the productivity and on the machine availability. In addiction to this main project, it was also proposed to make an analysis and improvement on the final product packing process. The work developed consisted on the application of the Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) methodology which contemplates 5 stages. Throughout this project, a significant sample of the CNC setups was studied and all the tasks performed were analyzed thoroughly. In the end of this work, it was achieved a significant reduce of the general setup time of 42% by reducing the time or eliminating some external and internal tasks and through the application of improvements in these tasks. For this, contributed the placement of the external tasks at the beginning or at the end of the setup, the allocation of a second operator that helps in some internal tasks, the normalization of the setup processes, the reorganization of the company layout and the reorganization of the machine elements. The packaging process was also revised. The application of some simple improvements in this process allowed to reduce the packing time to about half.

▼ Manufacturing organisations must routinely deliver efficiencies in order to remain competitive.Many have embraced continuous improvement methodologies, such as Lean manufacturing andSix Sigma in order to achieve these goals. However their ability to realise sustainable competitiveadvantage from continuous improvement is hampered by the lack of structured objectiveapproaches for optimal project portfolio selection that link strategy to targeted improvementefforts. As a consequence, scarce resources are inappropriately allocated, opportunities are lostand there is sub-optimisation of the system as a whole.There are three gaps in the extant literature (i) the majority of published methodologies beginwith a finite set of explicitly defined alternatives and attempt to maximize the portfoliooutcomes without any definition of an optimized future state, (ii), portfolios are limited tochoices from an a priori set of alternatives and are therefore unlikely to result in an optimaloutcome and (iii) the extant methodologies generally do not include appropriate measurement tojudge outcomes. Furthermore, there are significant limitations to the approaches used byindustry for project selection and a degree of dissatisfaction with the methodologies employed.The most significant of these is the gap between strategy formulation and portfolio generation.A normative framework that should be used to structure project portfolio methodologies istherefore presented.To resolve these issues, a scalable generic methodology for visualizing and evaluating optimalfuture states and to evaluate projects and portfolios of projects in the context of those futurestates is presented. The methodology described employs Multiscale, Object Oriented Modellingand Simulation with Optimal Design of Experiments to create n-dimensional Pareto Frontiersfrom the set of all feasible production outcomes within given manufacturing configurations andfor given strategic scenarios.

▼ The purpose of this study was to discover the ways that central office and school level leaders initiate and advance a culture of continuous professional learning in high schools. The conceptual framework for this study was built from a synthesis of literature related to professional learning and leadership for continuous improvement. Relying heavily on the five dimensions of professional learning communities advanced by Shirley Hord (2004), multiple descriptive research methods were used to investigate the leadership practices and development processes that resulted in a learning culture in two high schools. A survey (Oliver, Hipp, & Huffman, 2003) was given to all licensed staff in order to assess the perceptions about the leadership practices and development processes. Interviews were conducted with administrator and teacher leaders. Documents that archived the aspects of the development process also were sought and used in the data analysis. Findings revealed the following development strategies were employed by leaders in both school districts and high schools: (1) defining a reason for change, (2) aligning resources to the mission and vision, (3) engaging in shared decision-making that is accepted and practiced by all, (4) offering high quality professional development, (5) supporting and respecting teacher leaders, (6) creating structures for accountability and reflection, and (7) designating leaders to provide accurate and purposeful data on which to base instructional decisions. Each high school was able to create a culture of continuous professional learning by implementing these seven dimensions at critical periods during their journey. Further, a three-stage framework became apparent during data analysis that provides a chronological description of how the two high schools journeyed to create a culture of continuous improvement and professional learning. Specific implications for practice, policy and research are offered in the concluding sections of this thesis.
