Resumo: A implantação de um Sistema de Gestão da Qualidade (SGQ) em uma organização demanda esforço, planejamento e envolvimento de todos. A etapa de seleção de serviços de consultoria (caso haja necessidade) e serviços de certificação, através de um Organismo Certificador Credenciado (OCC), tem um papel relevante nesse processo. O trabalho teve como objetivo a proposição de um modelo estruturado de apoio a essas duas decisões com enfoque multicritério (MDCA), através da elaboração de um framework metodológico. Esse leva em consideração a avaliação do grau de maturidade da organização em relação à qualidade, de acordo com um modelo de avaliação presente na ISO 10014, e a importância da melhoria contínua após a certificação ISO 9001. Um dos diferenciais do trabalho é o embasamento técnico-científico detalhado dos critérios qualificadores e de seleção para a consultoria e o OCC, através da utilização das normas ISO (9001, 10019, 17021 e 19011) e documento orientativo do CB-25 ligados à qualidade. E, por fim, foi efetuada uma aplicação em uma indústria farmacêutica, como também a análise de alguns cenários com a utilização do método Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation II (PROMETHEE II) e do plano Geometrical Analysis for Interactive Aid (GAIA).

Abstract: The implementation of a Quality Management System (QMS) in any organization requires efforts, planning, and everyone’s involvement. The selection of consultancy services (if needed), and certification services through an Accredited Certification Body (ACB) has an important role in this process. This study aims to propose a structured model to support these two decisions by using a multicriteria focus (MCDA) to guide the design of a methodological framework. In addition, this study considers the maturity level of the organization, and the importance of continuous improvement after implementing ISO 9001. One of the differential points in this study is the detailed scientific technical foundation of the qualifying and selection criteria, of the consultancy and ACB by using ISO standards (9001, 10019, 17021, 19011), and the guidance document CB-25, which is related to quality. Finally, an application was made in a pharmaceutical industry using the PROMETHEE II method, and the GAIA plan. We adopted three scenarios.

Abstract Periodically, organizations need to change the quality management aspects of processes and products in order to suit the demands of their internal and external (consumer and competitor market) environments. In the context of the present study, quality management changes involve tools, programs, methods, standards and procedures that can be applied. The purpose of this study is to help senior management to identify types of change and, consequently, determine how it should be correctly conducted within an organization. The methodology involves a classification model, with multicriteria support, and three organizational change ratings were adopted (the extremes, type I and type II, as confirmed in the literature, and the intermediary, proposed herein). The multicriteria method used was ELECTRE TRI and the model was applied to two companies of the Textile Local Productive Arrangement in Pernambuco, Brazil. The results are interesting and show the consistency and coherence of the proposed classification model.

The quality of the construction production process may be improved using several different methods such as Lean Construction, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 or ISO 18001. Construction companies need a preliminary study and systematic implementation of changes to become more competitive and efficient. This paper presents a multicriteria decision model for the selection and ranking of such alternatives for improvement approaches regarding the aspects of quality, sustainability and safety, based on the PROMETHEE II method. The adoption of this model provides more confidence and visibility for decision makers. One of the differentiators of this model is the use of a fragmented set of improvement alternatives. These alternatives were combined with some restrictions to create a global set of alternatives. An application to three scenarios, considering realistic data, was developed. The results of the application show that the model should be incorporated into the strategic planning process of organizations.
