A Gestão de portfólios em projetos é considerada um fator chave para que as organizações atinjam níveis de excelência e vantagem competitiva. É determinante para maximizar o planeamento eficiente dos recursos disponíveis, de forma a conseguir as melhores estratégias para alcançar as metas organizacionais traçadas.
Atualmente, os sistemas de gestão utilizados pelas empresas do setor do calçado não permitem uma avaliação “em tempo real” do desempenho atual da encomenda ou de previsões sobre a finalização da mesma tendo em conta as variáveis custo e prazo. Desta forma, é essencial o desenvolvimento de um piloto de controlo que permita integrar estas variáveis, correlacionando-as entre si de forma a melhorar o processo de decisão. O objetivo é promover o desenvolvimento de um piloto de controlo de portfólio industrial, que melhore os processos de planeamento, controlo e avaliação de desempenho das encomendas através da integração dos custos e prazos com a implementação dos conceitos de Earned Value Management. Este piloto de controlo deve permitir monitorizar, avaliar e antecipar o decorrer da produção, a médio e longo prazo, conferindo à organização capacidade para tomar decisões, de uma forma rápida e eficaz, aquando da encomenda. O resultado esperado desta ferramenta de controlo é fornecer informação, em tempo real, sobre o planeamento produtivo e oferecer uma vista de portfólio multiprojeto que auxilie a tomada de decisão na fase de pré-seleção de novas encomendas. Para tal, foi utilizada uma abordagem metodológica baseada na metodologia qualitativa e na investigação-ação, aplicadas a uma empresa do setor do calçado para um total de dez encomendas.
Concluiu-se assim, que o piloto de controlo de portfólio desenvolvido demonstrou melhorias significativas nos processos de planeamento permitindo monitorizar, avaliar e antecipar a produção, melhorando a rapidez da tomada de decisões aquando da encomenda conforme o objetivo geral deste projeto. Além disso, a variável prazo (otimização da calendarização da encomenda) foi diagnosticada como a principal condicionante da poupança de custos associados ao processo de avaliação de portfólio.
Portfolio Management in projects is considered a key factor in order to organizations to achieve levels of excellence and competitive advantages. It’s crucial to maximize the efficient planning of available resources in order to allocate the best strategies to achieve the organizational goals outlined. Currently, management systems used by companies in the footwear sector don’t allow a "real-time" evaluation of the current performance of the order or to forecasts the destination of the order, taking into account cost and time variables. In line with this, it is essential to develop a control pilot that allows integrating these variables and correlating them in order to improve the decision process. The goal is to develop an industrial portfolio control pilot which improves the planning, control and performance evaluation of the order by integrating costs and deadlines with the implementation of Earned Value Management concepts. This control pilot should be able to monitor, evaluate and anticipate the production run in the medium and long term in a way that the organization can take quick and efficiently decisions when ordering. The expected result of this control tool is to give information regarding the production planning in real time and to offer a multiproject portfolio view that helps the decision process in the pre-selection of new orders. To achieve this goal a methodological approach based in qualitative and research-action methods was applied to a specific shoe manufacturer analyzing ten orders of the company. The developed industrial portfolio control pilot showed significant improvements in the process planning allowing to monitor, evaluate and to anticipate the production, improving the decision process according to the goal of this project. At the same time, the variable time (optimization of the schedule of each order) was considered the most important variable in order to improve the management of the costs related to the process of evaluation of the portfolio.
