ABSTRACT:In recent years, public policy has been offering subsidized credit for machine purchase to family farmers. However, there is no methodological procedure to select a suitable tractor for these farmers' situation. In this way, we aimed to develop a selection model for smallholder farmers from Pelotas city region in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Building a multicriteria model to aid decisions is divided into three main stages: structuring stage (identifying stakeholders, decisional context and model creation), evaluation stage (stakeholder preference quantification) and recommendation stage (choice selection). The Multicriteria method is able to identify and value the criteria used in tractor selection by regional family farmers. Six main evaluation areas were identified: operational cost (weight 0.20), purchase cost (weight 0.22), maintainability (weight 0.10), tractor capacity (weight 0.26), ergonomics (weight 0.14) and safety (weight 0.08). The best-rated tractor model (14.7 kW rated power) also was the one purchased by 53.3% of local families. Nos últimos anos, as políticas públicas vêm disponibilizando aos agricultores familiares crédito subsidiado para aquisição de máquinas agrícolas. No entanto, não há uma sistemática que possa ser utilizada para a seleção dos tratores mais adequados à realidade dos agricultores. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é propor um modelo para a seleção de tratores destinados a agricultores de base familiar em municípios da região de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. Para a construção do modelo, foi empregada a Metodologia Multicritério em Apoio à Decisão, que está dividida em três fases principais: a fase de estruturação (identificação de atores, contexto decisional e criação do modelo), a fase de avaliação (quantificação das preferências dos atores) e a fase de recomendações (seleção das melhores opções). O uso da metodologia multicritério permitiu identificar e valorar os critérios empregados na escolha de tratores por parte dos agricultores familiares desta região. Foram identificados seis eixos principais de avaliação: custo operacional (peso 0,20), custo de aquisição (peso 0,22), facilidade de manutenção (peso 0,10), capacidade do trator (peso 0,26), ergonomia (peso 0,14) e segurança (peso 0,08). O trator mais bem pontuado no modelo (14,7 kW de potência nominal) também foi aquele adquirido por 53,3% das famílias. KEY-WORDS

“…This tool has been applied in diverse knowledge areas, more specifically in administration. The main advantage it presents for the decision makers is the possibility to increase the level of knowledge of the subject, during the construction of the map, leading him/ her to reflect on more coherent and intelligent decision making, according to the problem to be structured (Gomes, Rangel, & Jeronimo, 2010). The following steps where were used for the construction of the cognitive map:…”

Inter-organizational Global Software Development (GSD) has become a common reality for many projects. It is well established that distance makes difficult to interact and to cooperate effectively. Scrum, a consolidated Agile methodology, emphasizes communication, reduces coordination and control overhead and has been increasingly used in a distributed fashion. Successfully planning and managing the combined use of GSD and Scrum is a complex task and requires carefully planning. Despite the importance and complexity of this type of problem, there seems to be a lack of reports, in the literature, of models that could support managers dealing with these decision contexts. This paper presents a multi-criteria decision model for planning and fine-tuning such project plans. This model was developed using cognitive mapping and MACBETH (Bana e Costa, Sanchez-Lopez, Vansnick, & De Corte, 2011). The application of the model is demonstrated, followed by conclusion and future work.
