Resumo
Atualmente, com o alto consumo da cana de açúcar, indústrias buscam melhorias na gestão ambiental do processo produtivo do setor sucroalcooleiro, passando assim, inevitavelmente, pela melhor produção da cana, seus produtos e subprodutos, consequentemente uma melhor maneira de conduzir a colheira da planta. Com isso começam a surgir programas como o estudado neste trabalho O Cana Limpa, que se espalha pelas usinas do país. A sustentabilidade de um Programa de tal natureza não depende apenas de quem o patrocina ou do empresário, mas também, primordialmente daqueles que são afetados diretamente por este. Esta premissa e a dúvida sobre a adequação do programa dos trabalhadores motivaram esta proposta. Certamente o programa deve ter sido concebido para contemplar não só a produtividade para a empresa, mas também, melhores condições de vida no trabalho para os cortadores. Mas que opinião tem os mesmos? Assim, na busca de resposta a esta questão o objetivo desse trabalho é o de avaliar o Programa Cana Limpa, desde o ponto de vista do cortador verificando seus pontos fortes, fracos e melhorias necessárias ao Programa. Embora a participação do homem se dê em várias das fases dos processos produtivos do setor sucro-alcooleiro, a presente proposta enfoca apenas o trabalho durante a colheita de cana de açúcar. Esta pesquisa quanto ao método tem duas fases. A primeira é qualitativa e exploratória. Nesta fase busca levantar as variáveis para avaliar o programa. Após a identificação das variáveis tem-se uma segunda fase, quantitativa descritiva, onde se avalia o grau de existência das variáveis encontradas, ou seja, estas variáveis da primeira fase não utilizadas na elaboração de questões do instrumento de coleta de dados. Nesta fase é construído um instrumento de coleta de dados com questões fechadas utilizando escala ordinal...
Due to the high consumption of sugar cane, industries have been searching to improve environmental management in the sugar and alcohol production processes, thus resulting in improved production of sugar cane and its by products as well as improved harvesting techniques. The Cana Limpa (clean sugar cane) is one of the programs that arose as a result of this search for improvement in sugar cane production and harvesting. To say that a program is sustainable depends not only on the sponsor or the entrepreneur, but also on the people that are directly affected by such a program. This and the question whether or not the program will be adequate to the workers, motivated our proposal. It is certainly true that the program was conceived to embrace not only productivity, but also better working conditions to the harvesters. But what do they think about it? The objective of this study is to evaluate the Cana Limpa Program from the point of view of the harvester, and analyze its strengths and weaknesses as well as the need for improvements. Even though man participates in various stages of the sugar and alcohol production process, this study focus only on the harvest of sugar cane. The method used in this research is twofold: the first part is qualitative and exploratory. We aimed at obtaining variables to evaluate the program; the second part is quantitative and descriptive, that is, we measurehow many times the variables occur. During this part of the research, we built an instrument to collect data, with closed questions and ordinal scale. The questionnaires were distributed to the harvesters in their place of work. Evaluating the Cana Limpa program with an ordinal scale, as we did during the second part of this study, with three discrete levels (better than, equal to, worse than) allowed us, by means of descriptive statistics, to obtain the distribution of each one of these...
