Many companies have difficulties in filling managerial positions. This is because there is a lack in understanding of the competencies that a manager must have. This is as true for those responsible for selecting managers as it is for the employee who aspires to be a manager. Furthermore, the construction industry seeks to appoint managers who are likely to excel in several different managerial roles. However, currently, there is no model that classifies managers by the different competencies they need to perform specific functions. This paper presents how a nonordered classification method was applied in a construction company in order to select managers for different roles. While no manager is considered to be more important than any other, they nevertheless need to have different competencies that match those needed for the job assigned to them. The model also serves as a guide for evaluating whether or not those already in or being considered for a managerial position have the competencies required.
Embora a medição de desempenho seja um elemento importante da gestão da segurança e saúde no trabalho (SST), ela costuma ser usada de forma reducionista, enfatizando o papel de dados quantitativos e não sendo orientada por uma explícita filosofia de SST. Este artigo apresenta oito princípios para o projeto de sistemas de medição de desempenho em SST (SMDSST), os quais possuem, como característica distintiva, o alinhamento com o paradigma da engenharia de resiliência. O uso dos princípios é ilustrado por meio de um estudo de caso, no qual o SMDSST de uma construtora foi avaliado por meio de técnicas qualitativas de coleta de dados. Com base nesse estudo, foram identificadas oportunidades de melhoria no SMDSST, que ilustram a utilidade prática dos princípios, bem como foram propostas recomendações para a avaliação do uso dos mesmos em SMDSST já existentes.
The design stage is decisive for the Product Development Process, as it is in this stage that the main guidelines of the projects are defined, which directly affect costs, deadlines and production methods. In this sense, virtual prototypes have been used to approve project alternatives, perform engineering analysis, support production planning and present the product to customers. Thus, they allow the reduction of time and resources in decision-making, in addition to predicting problems that may lead to difficulties in execution. In this context, the research sought to optimize pre-existing projects of a popular standard residence through the development of a virtual prototype through the Autodesk Revit tool where it was possible to reconcile the structural, electrical, hydraulic and architectural projects, in addition to adapting such projects with the construction techniques used by the construction company. In this interactive process, the automatic method of detection of interferences (crash-detection) and the manual were applied, through the contribution of the stakeholders of the work. The estimated direct savings obtained per house built was around BRL 905.00, knowing that this development was a housing complex of 90 houses, a reduction of approximately BRL 81 thousand reais was obtained in total.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
