Com intuito de poupar esforços e otimizar recursos, as empresas, sobretudo as do setor industrial começaram a desenvolver seus próprios Sistemas de Gestão Integrado (SGI) como uma alternativa plausível e eficaz nesse sentido. O SGI busca alcançar a integração dos sistemas de qualidade, meio ambiente, saúde e segurança ocupacional e responsabilidade social corporativa de acordo com as características, atividades e necessidades de cada organização. Um alinhamento eficaz do SGI com a estratégia empresarial pode ter influências positivas nas capacidades inovadoras das organizações, bem como na satisfação de seus colaboradores e clientes. No entanto, de acordo com a literatura científica muitas empresas não estão cientes das dificuldades em alinhar o SGI com sua estratégia. Portanto, o objetivo desta tese é propor diretrizes para o alinhamento do SGI com a estratégia de empresas industriais. Para a consecução deste objetivo, foi realizada uma revisão da literatura científica que permitiu a sistematização dos princípios da estratégia empresarial e a identificação das relações teóricas entre o SGI e estratégia, que deram suporte para a realização dos estudos de caso múltiplos e auxiliando na elaboração das diretrizes para o alinhamento do SGI com a estratégia empresarial. Em função do desenvolvimento desta tese, cabe destacar que suas principais contribuições científicas foram as sistematizações dos princípios da estratégia empresarial, e a identificação das sinergias e dissonâncias entre os princípios do SGI e da estratégia, que auxiliaram no preenchimento de lacunas científicas relacionadas a estratégia, o SGI, e sobre estas duas perspectivas. Quanto que a principal contribuição aplicada desta tese está relacionada a formulação das proposições para as diretrizes de um adequado alinhamento do SGI com a estratégia empresarial. No qual espera-se que estas diretrizes sejam relevantes para melhoria organizacional das empresas industriais, colaborando para a mitigação dos impactos operacionais, aumento da produtividade e maiores lucros. With today's globalized and increasingly competitive organizational landscape, organizations need strategy to survive in the midst of excessive competition. In order to save effort and optimize resources, companies, especially those in the industrial sector have started developing their own Integrated Management System (IMS) as a plausible and effective alternative in this sense. The IMS seeks to achieve the integration of the systems of quality, environment, occupational health and safety and corporate social responsibility in accordance with the characteristics, activities and needs of each organization. An effective alignment of IMS with the business strategy can have positive influences on innovative capabilities of organizations, as well as the satisfaction of their employees and customers. However, according to the scientific literature many companies are not aware of the difficulties in aligning the IMS with their strategy. Therefore, the objective of this thesis is to propose guidelines for the alignment of the IMS with the business strategy in industrial companies. In order to achieve this objective, a review of the scientific literature was carried out, which allowed the systematization of the principles of business strategy and the identification of the theoretical correlations between IMS and strategy, which are supporting the carrying out of multiple case studies and assisting in the elaboration of the guidelines for IMS alignment with business strategy. Due to the development of this thesis, it is worth noting that its main scientific contributions were the systematization of the principles of business strategy, and the identification of synergies and dissonances between the principles of the IMS and strategy, which assisted in filling scientific gaps related to strategy, SGI, and on these two perspectives. As the main applied contribution of this thesis is related to the formulation of the propositions for the guidelines of an adequate alignment of the SGI with the business strategy. In which these guidelines are expected to be relevant to the organizational improvement of industrial companies, contributing to the mitigation of operational impacts, increased productivity and higher profits. 001

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-06-10 Water is a finite and scarce resource that has gained importance in the global economic scenario. The sugar-energy plants use water intensively for the development of their activities, which demands that their top management incorporate actions to reduce or eliminate the use of this resource. In Brazil, the annual production of sugarcane is over 650 million tons/year and, on average, 1.18 m³ of water is consumed per ton of processed sugarcane. Given this, it is important to look for alternatives that allow the reduction of the volumes of water collection and use in Brazilian sugar-energy plants. The objective of this paper is to identify opportunities and challenges for using Cleaner Production (CP) to reduce water consumption in brazilian sugar-energy plants. To carry out this study, four case studies were conducted, whose data collection was based on semi-structured interviews with plant managers, document analysis and on-site visits. The case studies were analyzed individually, and then their cross-analysis were conducted in order to understand and present them in a transversal way to all the companies studied. Among the opportunities for improvement identified are the use of dry cleaning system for sugarcane cleaning, the classification and analysis of effluents, the analysis of the water consumption in the processes and the use of the system of concentration of vinasse. The main scientific contribution of this study is the systematization of CP interventions to reduce water consumption in sugar-energy plants, which expands the existing theory. The results of this work revealed that the opportunities and challenges presented may help companies to reduce considerably the volume of water used in their production systems, thus contributing to the preservation of the environment and the development of future generations.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-01-20 The purpose of this article is to characterize and discuss the elements and functions most commonly integrated in Brazilian companies certified by the management systems ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 and to identify the benefits and difficulties from integration. This study contributes with suggestions of achievements to overcome the major difficulties and challenges faced during the integration process. In order to support the research, the theoretical framework was conducted comprising certifiable management systems (ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001) and Integrated Management Systems. The study was based on a qualitative approach supported by an analysis in the practical context, which examined the results of fourteen case studies in Brazilian industrial companies. The development of the research involved three visits in each one of the companies studied. The results indicated the most integrated elements and functions in the companies studied are the high management responsibility, work instructions, control of documents and records, internal communication and structure and accountability. Further, the benefits of integration were the improvement in efficiency of operations and internal communication, greater agility in the decision-making process, increase in the quality of goods and services produced or provided and increase in reliability of the products and processes. The main difficulties were the complexity of integration process and the high amount of human and financial resources spent on implementation.

In this study, it was hypothesized that delaying the attainment of VO(2)max by reducing the rates at which VO2 increases with time (VO2SC kinetics) would improve the endurance performance during severe-intensity intermittent exercise performed with different work:recovery duration and recovery type in active individuals. After the estimation of the parameters of the VO2SC kinetics during CWR exercise, 18 males were divided into two groups (Passive and Active recovery) and performed at different days, two intermittent exercises to exhaustion (at 95% IVO(2)max, with work: recovery ratio of 2:1) with the duration of the repetitions calculated from the onset of the exercise to the beginning of the VO2SC (Short) or to the half duration of the VO2SC (Long). The active recovery was performed at 50% IVO(2)max. The endurance performance during intermittent exercises for the Passive (Short = 1523 +/- 411; Long = 984 +/- 260 s) and Active (Short = 902 +/- 239; Long = 886 +/- 254 s) groups was improved compared with CWR condition (Passive = 540 +/- 116; Active = 489 +/- 84 s). For Passive group, the endurance performance was significantly higher for Short than Long condition. However, no significant difference between Short and Long conditions was found for Active group. Additionally, the endurance performance during Short condition was higher for Passive than Active group. The VO2SC kinetics was significantly increased for CWR (Passive = 0.16 +/- 0.04; Active = 0.16 +/- 0.04 L.min(-2)) compared with Short (Passive = 0.01 +/- 0.01; Active = 0.03 +/- 0.04 L.min(-2)) and Long (Passive=0.02 +/- 0.01; Active = 0.01 +/- 0.01 L.min(-2)) intermittent exercise conditions. No significant difference was found among the intermittent exercises. It can be concluded that the endurance performance is negatively influenced by active recovery only during shorter high-intensity intermittent exercise. Moreover, the improvement in endurance performance seems not be explained by differences in the VO2SC kinetics, since its values were similar among all intermittent exercise conditions.

Barbosa, LF, de Souza, MR, Corrêa Caritá, RA, Caputo, F, Denadai, BS, and Greco, CC. Maximal lactate steady-state independent of recovery period during intermittent protocol. J Strength Cond Res 25(12): 3385-3390, 2011-The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the measurement time for blood lactate concentration ([La]) determination on [La] (maximal lactate steady state [MLSS]) and workload (MLSS during intermittent protocols [MLSSwi]) at maximal lactate steady state determined using intermittent protocols. Nineteen trained male cyclists were divided into 2 groups, for the determination of MLSSwi using passive (VO(2)max = 58.1 ± 3.5 ml·kg·min; N = 9) or active recovery (VO(2)max = 60.3 ± 9.0 ml·kg·min; N = 10). They performed the following tests, in different days, on a cycle ergometer: (a) Incremental test until exhaustion to determine (VO(2)max and (b) 30-minute intermittent constant-workload tests (7 × 4 and 1 × 2 minutes, with 2-minute recovery) to determine MLSSwi and MLSS. Each group performed the intermittent tests with passive or active recovery. The MLSSwi was defined as the highest workload at which [La] increased by no more than 1 mmol·L between minutes 10 and 30 (T1) or minutes 14 and 44 (T2) of the protocol. The MLSS (Passive-T1: 5.89 ± 1.41 vs. T2: 5.61 ± 1.78 mmol·L) and MLSSwi (Passive-T1: 294.5 ± 31.8 vs. T2: 294.7 ± 32.2 W; Active-T1: 304.6 ± 23.0 vs. T2: 300.5 ± 23.9 W) were similar for both criteria. However, MLSS was lower in T2 (4.91 ± 1.91 mmol·L) when compared with in T1 (5.62 ± 1.83 mmol·L) using active recovery. We can conclude that the MLSSwi (passive and active conditions) was unchanged whether recovery periods were considered (T1) or not (T2) for the interpretation of [La] kinetics. In contrast, MLSS was lowered when considering the active recovery periods (T2). Thus, shorter intermittent protocols (i.e., T1) to determine MLSSwi may optimize time of the aerobic capacity evaluation of well-trained cyclists.

The purpose of this study was to determine the test-retest reliability of cardiorespiratory parameters during cycling exercise performed at severe domain in active individuals. Thirteen active males (24.5 ± 4.5 years) performed the following tests: (a) an incremental test to determine V[Combining Dot Above]O2max and the intensity associated with VO2max (IVO2max); and (b) 4 repetitions of square-wave transitions from rest to a power corresponding to 95% IVO2max to determine the parameters of VO2 kinetics and time to exhaustion (Tlim). Participants performed only 2 transitions on any given day. The interval between the 2 experimental sessions was 48-72 hours. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and typical error as the coefficient of variation were used to assess reliability. Although the 2 measures of Tlim were moderately related (ICC = 0.78; p < 0.01), Tlim from the second session (545.2 ± 103.1 seconds) was significantly higher than that of the first (492.5 ± 100.9 seconds; p = 0.02). Moderate to high reliability (ICC = 0.76-0.93) for the amplitudes of the VO2 kinetics responses was found. Poor reliability, however, was found for time constants and time delays of the VO2 kinetics responses. Thus, in nonfamiliarized individuals, Tlim shows a relatively low within-subject coefficient of variation. However, the second score in a series of 2 Tlim tests may be significantly greater than the first. We have also demonstrated that the amplitudes of the V[Combining Dot Above]O2 response have significantly moderate to high reliability. The time-based parameters, however, present an important day-to-day intraindividual variation. Therefore, several transitions are recommended to monitoring changes in an individual over any time frame.
