(2021-01-01) Nunhes, Thaís Vieira [UNESP]; Campos, Thalita Láua Reis [UNESP]; Francisco, Fernanda Ellen [UNESP]; Oliveira, Otávio José de [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
With the advance of globalization and population increase, it was necessary to intensify the production of goods to meet the new demands that arose. As a result, a significant emergence of negative socio-environmental impacts was observed, affecting the entire planet. The UN launched the 2030 Agenda to encourage all sectors of the economy, including the industrial sector, in promoting Sustainable Development (SD). Companies have sought to adopt techniques, tools and practices that enable SD in organizations. Among the range of possibilities to operationalize sustainable management, there are the Certifiable Management Systems (CMSs) ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. In order to facilitate the integration between these systems, ISO launched in 2018 the Annex SL with the High-Level Structure (HLS), providing greater compatibility between them. However, most companies do not know enough about this change and its benefits for sustainability. Thus, this work presents the main contributions of Annex SL to the development of sustainability in companies that have implemented CMSs. By reviewing the literature on the relationship between CMSs and sustainability, and the expertise of the authors, it was possible to identify and discuss on the contributions of the main elements of the HLS to sustainability, which are organizational context analysis, risk management, evidence-based decision making, emphasis on measuring and evaluating processes and results, and a culture of integration and continuous improvement.

Purpose: Considering the characteristics and barriers faced by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and the need to be competitive in the current scenario of high demand for sustainability, this paper aims to propose drivers for developing corporate sustainability in SMEs based on the most influential theoretical and empirical studies and the authors' experience. Design/methodology/approach: The scientific method used in this study was content analysis of recent literature (2015–2021), specifically the 30 most cited articles on sustainability in SMEs from the Scopus database. This methodological approach has already been tested and validity by other scientific studies. From this content analysis, elements for the development of sustainability in SMEs were identified. Subsequently, in light of the authors' experience, these elements were grouped by affinity, giving rise to the drivers that aim to guide owners and managers of SMEs in the transition to sustainability. Findings: The major finding of this paper is the proposition of drivers for the development of sustainability in SMEs. They were proposed considering the reality of these companies to be adequate to their resources and structure and to be simple to apply. Thus, these drivers guide the owners and managers of SMEs in actions that make them more prosperous, fair and green and, consequently, more competitive. Originality/value: This work contributes theoretically to deepening the recent body of knowledge on sustainability in SMEs and fills the gap that indicates the need for accessible and flexible management solutions oriented to the development of sustainability in SMEs.

(2023-01-01) MacHado, Marcela [UNESP]; Costa, Antonio; Simões, Felipe Domingues [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP); Instituto de Engenharia de Produção e Gestão - IEPG
The RMAX chart was proposed to control the covariance matrix of two quality characteristics. The monitoring statistic of the RMAX chart is the maximum of two standardized sample ranges from bivariate observations of two quality characteristics. In this article, we investigate the performance of two synthetic RMAX charts. The first synthetic chart signals when a second point, not far from the first one, falls beyond the warning limit. The second synthetic chart additionally signals when a sample point falls beyond the control limit. The performance of the synthetic RMAX charts are compared with the performance of the standard RMAX chart and the generalized variance |S| chart. The proposed charts are the best option to detect moderate or even small changes in the covariance matrix. To detect large changes in the covariance matrix, additional run rules are not necessary.

Toyota's knowledge-sharing intention in Brazil and Japan: does organisational cross-culture matter?
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022-10-31) Muniz, Jorge; Popadiuk, Silvio; Batistela, Gislaine Cristina; Nakanishi, Fabio K.; Rodriguez, Indira Arias [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
This study evaluated whether the organisational culture of the country causes a moderating effect on the relationship between motivational factors and knowledge sharing intention (KSI) from the perspective of Toyota managers in Japan and Brazil. The questionnaire applied to Toyota managers, in Brazil (n = 84) and Japan (n = 111) through online access. The data treatment applied structural equation modelling. The results revealed that Brazilian managers attributed higher mean values than the average values of Japanese managers. Analysis of the two samples revealed no significant differences in the structure of the structural equation model through the use of PLS-PM. While for the Brazilian sample only anticipated reciprocal relationship explained KSI, for the Japanese sample, the anticipated reciprocal relationship and sense of self-worth contributed to explaining KSI. Three interactions between the three moderation variables and the three independent variables were significant when analysing the sample of Brazilian managers.

Purpose: Management Systems (MS) are a global phenomenon, and their integration is justified by the benefits that they provide to organizations. Thus, the main purpose of this paper was based on the analysis of the existing literature, with a view to characterizing the current state of the art to understand the impact that Industry 4.0 (I4.0) will have on Integrated Management Systems (IMS). Design/methodology/approach: For this study, exploratory bibliographic research was carried out to extract the most important ideas from the literature, to better understand the main concepts related to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, considering the fourth industrial revolution. The methodological basis used in this study followed the PRISMA guidelines and the research was carried out essentially through two databases, Scopus, and Web of Science. Findings: The integration of MS will be one of the pillars of I4.0 and it aims to interconnect the different areas of an industry, whose objective is to extract data and information that will be used to carry out continuous improvements in the entire production process and in all the related support areas. This paper reviews, lists and organizes the different technological concepts and integration opportunities that have been explored within the scope of IMS in I4.0. Research limitations/implications: Although this literature review is limited to the aforementioned databases, there is still not much information available regarding the focus of IMS in I4.0. Originally/value: This study contributed to a better perception and systematization of the IMS considering the I4.0. It focuses on the motivation and importance of ISO certifications, related to quality (9001), environment (14001) and occupational health and safety (45001) in I4.0. Thus, the contribution of this work aimed essentially to provide information about possible benefits and difficulties that may occur due to the implementation of IMS in I4.0 context.
Making Hospitals Sustainable: Towards Greener, Fairer and More Prosperous Services
(2022-08-01) Borges de Oliveira, Karine [UNESP]; de Oliveira, Otávio José [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
The growing demand for hospital services and the pressure to incorporate sustainable strategies into hospital management have led hospitals to rethink their business model and seek new ways to manage their operations. Corporate sustainability is an important way to make hospitals more sustainable and competitive. Therefore, this paper proposes a framework that contains the drivers for the management of sustainability in hospitals (SH), developed through the content analysis method. As a result, this study proposes five drivers: toward the circular economy; making sustainable buildings; adopting knowledge management and organizational culture; employing management systems, tools, and methods; and applying technological innovations. This framework contributes in a managerial way to helping managers of hospitals in managing sustainability; making their businesses fairer, greener, and more prosperous; and fulfilling their commitments to the well-being of their employees and society, providing a basis for moving toward the premises of the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda. This study also scientifically contributes to the academic maturation of the topic by systematizing elements and adding insights to the state of the art on SH. It is recommended that future studies add new elements to the drivers or even propose new drivers for the continuous scientific advancement of this topic.
Performance measurement and management systems for dealing with strategies in uncertain ecosystems
(2022-01-01) Gomes, Leonardo Augusto de Vasconcelos; Hourneaux Junior, Flavio; Facin, Ana Lucia Figueiredo [UNESP]; Leal, Lorenna Fernandes; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP); UNIP
Purpose: Although there is a growing research stream on Performance Measurement and Management Systems (PMMS) in Ecosystems literature, current research offers limited theoretical insights into how PMMS deal with two types of strategies in uncertain ecosystems: ecosystem-based strategy – EBS (at the focal firm level) and ecosystem strategy – ES (at the ecosystem level). This study aims at identifying how PMMS are employed to deal with different types of strategies in uncertain ecosystems. Design/methodology/approach: The authors employed an inductive, rich multiple case approach in five focal firms with platform ecosystems. Data collection involved multiple sources of information (primary and secondary data), combing retrospective and longitudinal perspectives. Data analysis combined replication and comparison logic with coding. Findings: This study identifies four major distinctive dimensions of Ecosystem PMMS under uncertainty: (1) Integrative Performance (considering the different ecosystem actors’ performance), (2) Interdependence Performance (mutual, yet not necessarily convergent amongst ecosystem partners), (3) Regulative Performance (paradoxical in nature, having to cope with both flexibility and stability) and finally (4) Phased Learning Performance (non-linear). Research limitations/implications: Our primary contribution is a new framework for PMMS literature: a performance measurement and management system for dealing with strategies in ecosystems. This framework enables managing performance regarding both types of strategies (EBS and ES) and their interplay in uncertain ecosystems. Practical implications: The ecosystem management requires focal firms to measure and manage the overall ecosystem’s performance, and it varies according to the type of strategy adopted in each case. Our framework provides dimensions that guide firms to build and implement PMMS for an ecosystem consistent with the ES. Therefore, it may improve performance, especially in uncertain business contexts. Originality/value: The findings enrich PMMS literature in an ecosystem context related to the ES in uncertain environments.

(Scitepress, 2022-01-01) Moura, Roque Antonio [UNESP]; Richetto, Marco Rogerio Silva [UNESP]; Luche, Daniela Ercole Dale [UNESP]; Tozi, Luiz Antonio; Silva, Messias Borges [UNESP]; Cukurova, M.; Rummel, N.; Gillet, D.; McLaren, B.; Uhomoibhi, J.; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP); Technol Coll Sao Jose dos Campos Prof Jessen Vida
Industry 4.0, the so-called fourth industrial revolution, has been popularized by a German government project to promote digitization and automation, and has become a global strategy disseminated throughout several countries. It is widely used by researchers and mentors in different contexts and studies on opportunities, risks and challenges concerning employability. Therefore, this study aims to address the challenges of recruiters in the face of trends in new skills, profiles, and professional competencies for safeguarding jobs. Its method involves a systematic literature review using the keywords Human and Machine Learning and Industry 4.0 and Education. Bibliometrics was performed on works published on the theme during the latest decade. Results demonstrate the importance of updating Human Resources and Educational policies within the development of new skills and competencies to meet the new professional profile requirements and ensure human employability.
Multi-criteria decision analysis of classrooms standardisation in a higher education institution
(2016-01-01) Salomon, Valério A.P. [UNESP]; Alonso, Pedro J.; Marins, Fernando Augusto Silva [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP); University of Seville
As any other organisation, a higher education institution (HEI) has to manage operations and processes when transforming inputs in outputs. Furniture used in laboratories, offices, and even in the classrooms is an important resource. When there are two or more feasible alternatives for furniture, choosing the best furniture becomes a decision problem. One can make a mono-criterion decision based only on costs. However, furniture selection can be modelled as a multi-criteria decision problem, incorporating attributes as user's comfort and space usage. A multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methodological framework is presented comprising structuring, measurement, and synthesis. This work presents how a Brazilian HEI applied an MCDA method to standardise furniture to its classrooms. analytic hierarchy process was applied and the original structuring model benefits-opportunities-costs-risks was adapted. The use of four criteria requiring different types of information (two qualitative criteria and two quantitative criteria) enhances the learning of MCDA, which is a major contribution of this paper.
New hybrid AHP-QFD-PROMETHEE decision-making support method in the hesitant fuzzy environment: An application in packaging design selection
(2022-01-01) Porto De Lima, Byanca [UNESP]; Da Silva, Aneirson Francisco [UNESP]; Marins, Fernando Augusto Silva [UNESP]; Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)
This paper presents a new hybrid decision-making support method (New Hesitant Fuzzy AHP-QFD-PROMETHEE II Method), which jointly uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and the Preference Ranking Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE II), as well as the Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Term Sets (HFLTS) to capture hesitation and aggregate divergent opinions from different experts. A real application of the new method to a packaging design selection problem for an automotive company is described, finding that AHP assisted in determining the importance of QFD's customer requirements (CRs) and PROMETHEE II was used to select the best packaging design. With this same problem, for the purpose of validating the proposed method, a comparative analysis was made with the use of the Hesitant Fuzzy AHP-QFD-TOPSIS method and also with the traditional AHP-QFD-PROMETHEE method, which makes it impossible to capture the hesitation of decision makers. The result showed similarity in the rankings of design alternatives found in the three methods application. The proposed method proved advantageous for solving problems that can generally be solved with the QFD House of Quality but have serious difficulties when decision makers have divergent opinions and hesitate in evaluating criteria and alternatives.

(2022-02-01) Zorn, Savienne M. F. E.; da Silva, Ana Paula T.; Bredda, Eduardo H. [UNESP]; Bento, Heitor B. S. [UNESP]; Pedro, Guilherme A.; Carvalho, Ana Karine F.; Silva, Messias Borges [UNESP]; Da Rós, Patrícia C. M.; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP); Federal University of Alfenas
Lubricants are substances of the foremost importance in the modern world, as they are essential to the proper functioning of various mechanisms. Most lubricants, however, are still made from petroleum fractions. I light of this, and due to various environmental problems, the search for feasible biolubricants has become essential. This study obtained biolubricants through the in situ transesterification of microbial biomass, containing at least 20 wt% of lipids. The following two distinct biomasses were evaluated: the marine microalgae, Dunaliella salina, and the consortium of microalgae-fungi, Scenedesmus obliquus and Mucor circinelloides. Microbial oil from both biomasses presented a fatty acid profile with high amounts of oleic acid. The oil of D. salina had a lower content of polyunsaturated fatty acids relative to the microbial consortium profile, which indicates that this is a good configuration for increasing biolubricant oxidation resistance. The catalyst used was a Keggin-structure heteropolyacid supported on niobium, H3 PMo12 O40 /Nb2 O5, activated at 150◦ C, which had high transesterification yields, notwithstanding the feedstocks, which were rich in free fatty acids. The performed transesterification reactions resulted in excellent yields, up to 97.58% and 96.80%, for marine microalgae and the consortium, respectively, after 6 h at 250◦ C, with 10 wt% of catalyst (related to the lipid amount). As such, the (H3 PMo12 O40 /Nb2 O5 ) catalyst could become an attractive option for producing biolubricants from microbial biomass.

Cultural, economical, political, and social developments, added to population increases, favored the consolidation of cities. However, rapid city growth in the last decades has contrasted with the slowness in which states and municipalities responded to the new reality. In this sense, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), a leading multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) method, can be applied in the solution of common demands among municipalities, evaluating alternative plans for urban mobility. Since AHP has been applied to these specific decision problems, our research question is: How has AHP been applied to solve decision problems regarding urban mobility? The objective of this work is to identify the state of the art of AHP applications to urban mobility. To answer the research question, this paper presents a literature review (LR). State of the art review (SAR) is an LR approach expected to deliver results with medium comprehensiveness and results closer to exhaustive. With the support of graphical software, three clusters were identified, in the keywords network: AHP, Innovation & Public Management, and Urban Mobility. In the AHP cluster, research is driven by methodological subjects; on Innovation & Public Management, there is an open discussion on local versus national coordination; and the urban mobility cluster has hybrid or non-AHP applications of MCDM.

(2021-11-01) Satyro, Walter Cardoso; Contador, Jose Celso; Contador, Jose Luiz [UNESP]; Fragomeni, Marco Aurélio; Monken, Sonia Francisca de Paula; Ribeiro, Ana Freitas; de Lima, Anderson Ferreira; Gomes, Jansen Anderson; Do Nascimento, José Roberto; de Araújo, Josiane Lima; Prado, Rogério Glaser; Soares Junior, Gilberto Gomes; de Souza, Victor Henrique Martins; Nove de Julho University (UNINOVE); Paulista University (UNIP); Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP); Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Emílio Ribas Infectology Institute
Although Industry 4.0 has received much attention in recent years due to the possibility of increasing companies’ productivity, the implementation process is complex. The aim of this study is to present a holistic model for implementing Industry 4.0 based on cleaner production as a fundamental tool for the development of production systems that meet the Sustainable Development 04026-002Goals (SDGs), and social stakeholders that cooperate with this implementation process, helping to develop sustainable infrastructure, processes and technologies to increase the sustainable transformation of these companies towards Industry 4.0. The method used was literature research, and the Delphi technique was used to ask specialists to contribute with their experience to evaluate and propose improvements to the model, in the form of a consensus. The model contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals 9, 12 and 15. This holistic and sustainable model is a contribution to theory and practice, helping executives, technicians, entrepreneurs and those involved with Industry 4.0 to base the implementation process in the needs and specificities of each company, avoiding the “one fits all” models, considering the peculiarities of each company and the complexity of the implementation process in a more efficient and collaborative digital production ecosystems base, seeking to reduce inequalities, through the joint effort of social stakeholders to find ways to restore and/or improve social harmony, impacted by Industry 4.0.
