5. 3. Mudando paradigmas: De uma Economia “Linear” para um modelo “Circular”…
Mas para isso, é preciso mudar-se de um paradigma “linear” (actual)… para um novo modelo económico
mais “circular”…
• Mantém produtos,
componentes e
materiais no seu mais
alto nível de utilidade
e valor o tempo todo.
• ciclo contínuo de
desenvolvimento
positivo que
elimina a noção
de resíduo
desde o
princípio.
• Novos produtos = novas matérias primas
• Reciclagem no fim de vida (“end-of-pipe”)
• Altos volumes crônicos de perdas

6. 4. Economia circular: Principios/linhas de actuação
Preservar e aprimorar o capital natural controlando
stocks finitos e equilibrando os fluxos de recursos
renováveis.
Otimizar o rendimento de recursos fazendo circular
produtos, componentes e materiais ao mais alto nível de
utilidade o tempo todo, tanto no ciclo técnico quanto no
biológico.
Estimular a efetividade do sistema revelando e
excluindo as externalidades negativas desde o princípio
(e.g. Emissões de CO2, Aguas residuais, …)
Mas para isso, é preciso mudar-se de um paradigma “linear” (factual)… para um novo modelo económico
mais “circular”…

consumidores na escolha de
eletrodomésticos sustentáveis, deve-se em
grande medida a falta de incentivos para o
fazerem. (Wong and Krüger, 2017)

Among several available methods, the European For Quality Management (EFQM) model arises in Europe in 1998, not only as a Quality Management method, that allows to attend the goals referred before, but as a method for evaluating the organization’s overall performance.
However, and given its qualitative nature, the correspondent assessment doesn’t consider all issues regarding the problem to assess, making it therefore, insufficient. Some detected issues are related with the lack of precise information about the preferences of decision-makers, which are somehow subjective, since it depends on the decision-maker himself.
Given the Fuzzy nature of the decision process, the decision maker makes his judgment, based on specific values, instead of judging based on interval’s values. On the other hand, the self-assessment results, are partly varied and dependent on various opinions, which makes the scores of the various consultants, sometimes very different. In this sense, Fuzzy Logic can be a useful method to solve the problems referred above, given its flexibility and robustness, regarding its outputs, which is needed for the decision makers.
Therefore, this study intends to provide a methodology in which Fuzzy Logic is employed in a self-assessment process regarding a R&D Center in the HEI’s context.
This paper is organized as follows: Section 2 illustrates literature review. Section 3 presents the Methodology and the obtained results, with EFQM excellence model, Fuzzy Logic, the problem statement, as well as the proposed approach and results.
The results are compared and discussed.
This work ends with Section 4 (conclusions and future work).
Literature review
Some works have been presented, regarding the issues discussed in this paper, although mainly focused on the implementation and analysis of EFQM model in several organizations, belonging to different sectors. One example is the work of [1], regarding the overall performance of a nuclear power plant, where it was identified strengths and areas to be improved. Based on the obtained score, as well as the analysis of those strengths and areas for improvement, it was possible to prioritize the actions to be performed.
Other similar works, can be pointed here, regarding EFQM implementation (e.g. [2]), the integration with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) (e.g.[3]), the comparison with other quality management systems (e.g. between ISO 9000 and EFQM [4]), among others.
Other works includes the development and application of Fuzzy Logic based on hybrid approaches, combined with AHP techniques [5-6], with TOPSIS method [7], among others. Other application fields of Fuzzy Logic could be pointed out (e.g. [8-13]).
Besides the little research, regarding EFQM in the HEI’s [11-12], normally such works, are more focused in the entire HEI’s quality management system [12], instead of in one functional area, and more specifically in a R&D Centers, given its issues to attend.
A economia circular é um conceito baseado na inteligência da natureza, opondo ao processo produtivo linear o processo circular, onde os resíduos são insumos para a produção de novos produtos. No meio ambiente, restos de frutas consumidas por animais se decompõem e viram adubo para plantas. Esse conceito também é chamado de “cradle to cradle” (do berço ao berço), onde não existe a ideia de resíduo, e tudo é continuamente nutriente para um novo ciclo.
Atualmente, o nosso sistema produtivo funciona de forma linear, o que não é sustentável devido ao grande acúmulo de resíduos, exploração excessiva de recursos, etc. Nós exploramos a matéria-prima, produzimos bens e depois os descartamos. A obsolescência programada gera resíduos que não recebem novos usos e se acumulam exponencialmente. Para se ter noção, em Portugal , temos hoje mais de 9 milhões de habitantes produzindo resíduos. De acordo com dados do IBGE, cada brasileiro produz quase um quilo de lixo por dia, ou seja, são 183 mil toneladas diárias no país todo (saiba mais sobre resíduos sólidos urbanos).

One example is the work of [1], regarding the overall performance of a nuclear power plant, where it was identified strengths and areas to be improved. Based on the obtained score, as well as the analysis of those strengths and areas for improvement, it was possible to prioritize the actions to be performed.
Other similar works, can be pointed here, regarding EFQM implementation (e.g. [2]), the integration with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) (e.g.[3]), the comparison with other quality management systems (e.g. between ISO 9000 and EFQM [4]), among others.
Other works includes the development and application of Fuzzy Logic based on hybrid approaches, combined with AHP techniques [5-6], with TOPSIS method [7], among others. Other application fields of Fuzzy Logic could be pointed out (e.g. [8-13]).
Besides the little research, regarding EFQM in the HEI’s [11-12], normally such works, are more focused in the entire HEI’s quality management system [12], instead of in one functional area, and more specifically in a R&D Centers, given its issues to attend.
Among several available methods, the European For Quality Management (EFQM) model arises in Europe in 1998, not only as a Quality Management method, that allows to attend the goals referred before, but as a method for evaluating the organization’s overall performance.
However, and given its qualitative nature, the correspondent assessment doesn’t consider all issues regarding the problem to assess, making it therefore, insufficient. Some detected issues are related with the lack of precise information about the preferences of decision-makers, which are somehow subjective, since it depends on the decision-maker himself.
Given the Fuzzy nature of the decision process, the decision maker makes his judgment, based on specific values, instead of judging based on interval’s values. On the other hand, the self-assessment results, are partly varied and dependent on various opinions, which makes the scores of the various consultants, sometimes very different. In this sense, Fuzzy Logic can be a useful method to solve the problems referred above, given its flexibility and robustness, regarding its outputs, which is needed for the decision makers.
Therefore, this study intends to provide a methodology in which Fuzzy Logic is employed in a self-assessment process regarding a R&D Center in the HEI’s context.
This paper is organized as follows: Section 2 illustrates literature review. Section 3 presents the Methodology and the obtained results, with EFQM excellence model, Fuzzy Logic, the problem statement, as well as the proposed approach and results.
The results are compared and discussed.
This work ends with Section 4 (conclusions and future work).
