Warm forming processes have been successfully applied at laboratory level to overcome some important drawbacks of the Al−Mg alloys, such as poor formability and large springback.However, the numerical simulation of these processes requires the adoption of coupled thermomechanical finite element analysis, using temperature-dependent material models. The numerical description of the thermo-mechanical behaviour can require a large set of experimental tests. These experimental tests should be performed under conditions identical to the ones observed in the forming process. In this study, the warm deep drawing of a cylindrical cup is analysed, including the split-ring test to assess the temperature effect on the springback.Based on the analysis of the forming process conditions, the thermo-mechanical behaviour of the AA5086 aluminium alloy is described by a rate-independent thermo-elasto-plastic material model. The hardening law adopted is temperature-dependent while the yield function is temperature-independent. Nevertheless, the yield criterion parameters are selected based on the temperature of the heated tools. In fact, the model assumes that the temperature of the tools is uniform and constant, adopting a variable interfacial heat transfer coefficient. The accuracy of 2 the proposed finite element model is assessed by comparing numerical and experimental results.The predicted punch force, thickness distribution and earing profile are in very good agreement with the experimental measurements, when the anisotropic behaviour of the blank is accurately described. However, this does not guarantee a correct springback prediction, which is strongly influenced by the elastic properties, namely the Young's modulus.

O objetivo deste trabalho é demonstrar como o Planejamento Estratégico do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia (IFSC) 2015-2019 utilizando a ferramenta do Balanced Scorecard (BSC) contribuiu para a uniformização da elaboração dos planejamentos anuais das unidades  componentes da Instituição. No Planejamento Estratégico foi definida uma metodologia que passou a ser utilizada a partir de 2015 e foi bem aceita no Instituto. Essa metodologia consiste na elaboração de projetos alinhados aos Objetivos e Iniciativas Estratégicas traçadas no Planejamento Estratégico. O artigo trata-se de um estudo de caso no qual se utilizou pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Entende-se que o objetivo do trabalho aplicado foi atendido, pois houve uniformização no que tange a elaboração dos Planos Anuais de Trabalho. A metodologia proposta no Planejamento Estratégico 2015/2019 foi incorporada nos Câmpus e Reitoria do IFSC.
