O artigo propõe investigar como o ambiente corporativo se relaciona com a economia circular, visando a entender como essa conexão pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento sustentável das cadeias de suprimentos do estado de Santa Catarina. Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática para a identificação dos principais aspectos da economia circular relacionados com a indústria. Além disso, elaborou-se uma triangulação dos aspectos com os documentos públicos e consultivos oriundos da Federação da Indústria de Santa Catarina (FIESC) para corroborar com a análise regional. Com base nisso, foram mapeados 22 aspectos relacionados com o conceito da economia circular, distribuídos perante os 9 principais segmentos da indústria de Santa Catarina, de modo que se permitiu construir uma ligação entre esses aspectos e o cenário industrial da região estudada. Para complementação da análise, foram revisados 36 materiais da FIESC que se alinhavam com a temática da pesquisa. Concluiu-se que os aspectos que norteiam a EC se ramificam de maneira implícita nos materiais consultivos da FIESC, dando ênfase à importância da implementação desse conceito e de suas estratégias no cenário industrial, de forma que se fortaleçam as cadeias de suprimentos presentes no Estado de Santa Catarina. Contudo, ressalta-se a necessidade da construção de um documento normativo que evidencie o conceito da EC e fortaleça a transição do modelo linear atual para o modelo econômico circular.

The processing of ornamental rocks involves several stages, from extraction in the deposits to the final finishing of the product. These stages can consume significant amounts of energy and water and generate solid waste and liquid effluents that may contaminate soil and water. Moreover, intensive exploitation of deposits can lead to environmental degradation and have a negative impact on local biodiversity. Faced with these challenges, the ornamental rock processing sector has been striving to adopt more sustainable practices in its operations. This includes investing in more efficient and less polluting technologies, reusing and recycling waste generated during the process, and implementing measures for biodiversity conservation and the recovery of degraded areas. The methodology employed for the development of this scientific research involved a qualitative approach, with the research procedure consisting of conducting a literature review. The overall objective of this research was to elaborate a literature review on sustainability and ornamental rock processing. Ultimately, the research highlights that the existence of clear environmental regulations and companies' compliance with these regulations are crucial to prevent abuses and ensure environmental protection. It is also of utmost importance to ensure the application of appropriate penalties for those who do not comply with the established norms.

Transportation is responsible for delivering a product to the supply chain, which is why it is often cited as a potential factor of competitive advantage for companies. However, more and more companies are opting to outsource their transportation service demands instead of investing in their own fleet. This research falls under the qualitative research method with an exploratory investigation level based on a literature review. Based on the literature review conducted, it was possible to conclude that the main advantages of a company-owned fleet are primarily the availability of transportation to the company and control over drivers and deliveries. The general objective of this study was to conduct a comparative study on the decision moment between an own, outsourced, or mixed road transportation fleet. It sought to highlight the best option in terms of cost-benefit and profitability, for the most dynamic choice among these modes of operation, with the goal of business profitability and sustainability. The research indicates that outsourcing increases competitiveness when the company-owned fleet is not sufficient to meet the demand, constituting a profitable solution. However, the balance between cost and vehicle availability is in the acquisition of a mixed fleet.

The tools and production processes are constantly evolving. Initiated by the Industrial Revolution, the mechanization of the production line is undergoing a process of simple automation to perform tasks on their own. Before, machines only performed the most repetitive and heavy tasks. Today, through Machine Learning, they can even make quick, precise, and safe decisions about the best sequence for the production line of a particular product or service. For the elaboration of this article, a qualitative approach was used as a methodological basis, and the investigation procedure adopted was the development of a bibliographic review. The general objective of this research is to investigate how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can optimize the processes of the supply chain. This study indicates that the use of AI is increasingly becoming an irreversible path, as companies depend on profitability and less waste to survive, in addition to more agility and accuracy. All these advantages, combined with the lowest possible production cost, favor the permanence of AI among companies and society as a whole.

In recent years, there has been a growing demand for Supply Chain Management (SCM) to become more agile, integrated, and data-driven, especially with the advent of Industry 4.0. To meet this demand, companies have focused on implementing Integrated Sales and Operations Planning (S and OP) processes, which seek to integrate and align the activities of Sales, Operations, Demand Planning, Supply Planning, and Finance. A qualitative approach was adopted for the development of this research, using a literature review as the investigation procedure. The overall objective of this research is to demonstrate the importance of implementing the S and OP system in modern industries. As a result, an alignment in the company's perception of the level of service expected by the customer is observed, focused on delivery time and commercial conditions, but its process has areas for improvement when viewed in the light of S and OP.

O conhecimento é reconhecido como um importante recurso para que as organizações se tornem competitivas em seu mercado de atuação. A gestão desse recurso consiste em uma prática adotada pelas organizações para a busca de eficiência e efetividade dos seus processos. Essa pesquisa realizou um diagnóstico de gestão do conhecimento em uma organização de pesquisa e desenvolvimento de Florianópolis. É uma pesquisa de natureza aplicada, com abordagem qualitativa e descritiva. Foi aplicado o modelo de diagnóstico de gestão do conhecimento proposto por Bukowitz e Williams (2002) a cinco dirigentes de uma organização de pesquisa e desenvolvimento, intensiva em conhecimento. Os resultados demonstram que a gestão do conhecimento da organização apresentou baixa avaliação, a partir da percepção dos dirigentes pesquisados. A maior parte dos resultados abaixo da média encontra-se em seções pertencentes ao nível tático do processo de gestão do conhecimento (Obtenha, Aprenda e Contribua). Apenas a Seção Utilize foi melhor avaliada pelos dirigentes. No nível estratégico, destaca-se a Seção Avalie com o menor resultado e a Seção Construa/Mantenha como a seção melhor avaliada. Por meio do diagnóstico realizado foi elaborado um programa de ações visando a melhoria das seções que apresentaram baixa avaliação.
