Avaliação da viabilidade operacional e economica da integração entre a fábrica de ração e a suinocultura no IFMG-Campus Bambuí

Abstract

This study evaluated the operational and economic feasibility of integrating the Feed Factory and Swine Production sectors at IFMG - Bambuí Campus. The study is justified by the need for these sectors, which are fundamental to the teaching-research-extension tripod, to balance their educational mission with operational and financial sustainability, a recurring challenge in federal educational institutions. The research problem investigated how this integration can reconcile productive efficiency and academic purpose in a synergistic way. The general objective was to evaluate this feasibility and propose strategies to optimize resources, increase efficiency, and strengthen the role of these sectors as support laboratories for student education. To achieve this, the specific objectives included mapping production processes, identifying cost structures, evaluating installed capacity, analyzing the benefits of integration, and proposing improvements in The research was characterized as applied, quali-quantitative, descriptive, and exploratory, configuring a case study at IFMG - Bambuí Campus. Data collection combined document analysis (reports and costs), semi-structured interviews with managers and technicians, direct observation, and process The data were analyzed through content analysis (qualitative data), calculation of cost and efficiency indicators (quantitative data), and multicriteria evaluation to consolidate an integrated view of operational, economic, and academic aspects.mapping.management. The results provide a robust diagnosis and support managerial decision-making, proposing a management model that ensures the continuity and sustainable growth of these strategic sectors.
