Diagnosis of managament technology and its environmental and labor implications in simes sawmills- a case study

Abstract

The work was carried out in a SMEs timber establishment in the province of Misiones, Argentina. As the objective it proposes to develop a diagnostic method of technology management that would address the relationship between cross-technological factors, labor and the environment. The tasks performed enabled a comprehensive analysis of environmental and labor aspects from the perspective of technology management. As results on the one hand were obtained, recovery of the levels of technological and environmental significance and labor sectors of sawing, drying and remanufacturing, and secondly, through the statistical tool of correlation analysis, we studied the associations between technological factors of the different workstations, and the implications due to environmental impacts and labor. The work done allowed an adequate technological diagnosis, enabling the detection of critical issues regarding technology resources which may be improved, contributing also to the process of making decisions related to technology management.
