A performance measurement decision support system method applied for technology-based firms’ suppliers

Abstract The present article proposes a mathematical decision support system model to measure the performance of incubated technology-based firms (TBFs) suppliers. The research was conducted based on three steps: (1) a literature review, in order to parameterise the research in relation to the theme; (2) the construction of a measuring system, based on the presumptions permeated by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP); and (3) the application of the system at three companies. The findings demonstrated the mathematical modelling developed is capable of providing satisfactory results to the reality of the sector studied, presenting the situation of the suppliers evaluated, independent of the nature of the indicated critical success factors (CSFs). Also, this tool supports companies by providing a strong foundation to organise the information regarding the service level delivered by each supplier, according to previous research on the theme.

A gestão da competitividade industrial por meio da aplicação dos métodos UP e multicritério no setor frigorífico de bovinos

EnglishThe dynamism of the modern world has forced companies to develop many tools and techniques to assist in the administration. In this sense, the present work aims to show the development of a model capable of revealing the costs expended to manufacture on a coil cold storage sector, through the application of the Unit of Production Method, in conjunction with concepts about multi-criteria methods. In order to verify the behavior in practice, we sought to apply the model in a company located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil between the period from March to August 2012, visualizing in the end that �Sidecut� is the most expensive (CQ6b=R

STUDY TO EVALUATE THE PERFORMANCE DEVELOPMENT OF BRAZILIAN FRANCHISE SEGMENTS

This study aimed to conduct an assessment of the technical efficiency of Business Administration courses in Brazil, by means of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a nonparametric technique introduced by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (1978). Were used as variables in the model the eight component indicators of the Preliminary Concept of Course (CPC) to evaluate 1229 courses of Business Administration based on the results of the National Examination of Performance Evaluation of Students (ENADE) of 2009, obtaining as result that only 1.2% of these can be considered efficient. After this measurement, a step of recommendations was made to propose goals for the inefficient courses, thus bringing to light that better results can achieved given the inputs already available for Business Administration courses.

O uso da mensuração de desempenho para a comparação dos sistemas de transportes urbanos públicos

In similar conditions of food handling and genetics, there are large differences in the final productivity of farms, resulting from inherent factors of the production system. This fact predisposes the need of studies on optimizing the rearing conditions of the farms, in order to verify the main limitations for the producers. Therefore, the present study aims to generate predictions of the swine productivity in the finishing phase, using variables related to their profiles and the production results achieved. 107 farmers belonging to a swine cooperative were considered in the study, located in 47 counties at the Taquari valley region, Brazil. Predictions were generated through the aid of neural networks, and the findings show that Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) can predict the productivity variables Feed Conversion, Mortality and Average Daily Gain for the proposed case.
