A sociedade contemporânea prima pela constante busca de soluções eficientes para o destino dos Resíduos de Serviço de Saúde (RSS), pois se trata de uma ameaça ao meio ambiente e ao bem estar social. Neste cenário, os hospitais contam com as práticas de gestão ambiental e legislação vigente, que atuam no intuito de minimizar a geração de resíduos, bem como ocasionar uma disposição final adequada. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o gerenciamento de resíduos nos sete hospitais do Sistema de Saúde de Caxias do Sul (SSCX), bem como realizar a comparação das práticas de gestão ambiental versus a legislação vigente, preconizada pela Resolução ANVISA 306/2004. Para tanto, se caracteriza como uma pesquisa qualitativa, por meio de estudo de casos múltiplos. Com base na análise dos dados, observou-se que os sete hospitais analisados, empregam a prática de segregação de resíduos, primando para o descarte adequado, em relação a sua periculosidade e toxicidade. No entanto, no que diz respeito aos efluentes hospitalares, cinco hospitais do SSCX não estão de acordo com a legislação vigente, pois não tratam os efluentes hospitalares. Consoante isso, os corpos de água da região serrana e central do estado do Rio Grande do Sul estão sendo contaminados, causando impacto negativo no meio ambiente. O setor hospitalar do SSCX pode, ainda, contribuir muito para o desenvolvimento sustentável, no afã não só de se adequar à legislação vigente, mas também aderir a políticas de sustentabilidade.

As a result of globalization and industrial development, concerns about pollution and the environment encompass a global level, considering that any environmental degradation can undermine an entire local ecosystem and may generate negative impacts on different biomass. Accordingly, organizations can minimize their environmental impact, by making use of environmental practices such as methodologies on cleaner production. The Automotive Metal-Mechanic Cluster of Serra Gaúcha, Brazil, is known as an important industrial Pole in Brazil, due to its high concentration of spare parts, agricultural machinery and transport vehicles production companies. This Cluster is currently the second largest of its kind in Brazil. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between the concepts of cleaner production, environmental sustainability and organizational performance in 298 companies of the Serra Gaúcha Cluster. A survey was realized and Structural Equation Modeling was implemented for data analysis. The results show that those Serra Gaúcha companies seek alternative processes to reduce costs and contribute to the company's image for their customers. It was also observed that Cleaner Production practices influence environmental sustainability, as well as organizational performance; showing that cleaner production methodologies contribute to increase production capacity and flexibility and improve aspects of health and safety. Finally, it is worth noting that companies in the Serra Gaúcha tend to become committed to environmental sustainability, to the welfare of their workers, to society and its environment; adapting to such reality either by coercive and normative pressures.

Since Brazilian healthcare institutions have the duty to care about public health service, they also have the social and financial responsibilities to bring environmentally friendly practices and strategies, including principally a responsible attitude towards hospital waste management. Negligent waste management contributes significantly to polluting the environment. Today, a specific regional context in the southern State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, shows an ambivalent situation in terms of hospital waste management. This study aims to analyze the environmental management practices and innovation strategies of the hospitals of the Serra Gaúcha region, as well as conducting a comparison between the environmental management practices versus the current Brazilian laws. Based on data analysis, it was found that all hospitals employ the practice of waste segregation, preserving public health and environmental quality. However, in respect to hospital waste effluents, 75% of the hospitals of the Serra Gaúcha region do not treat their hospital effluents, not complying with the current Brazilian legislation.

As empresas vêm sofrendo pressões para melhorar a performance competitiva, para tanto as organizações podem adotar uma estratégia que abarca inovações em processos e ferramentas de melhoria contínua, que está pautada na eliminação de desperdícios, melhoria dos produtos, aumento da produtividade, bem como no uso de soluções que se apoiem na motivação e criatividade dos colaboradores para melhorar a prática de seus processos. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a inovação em processo e a metodologia de melhoria contínua implementada em uma indústria de plásticos do Polo Moveleiro da Serra Gaúcha. A metodologia utilizada na pesquisa se tratou de um estudo de caso, utilizando como instrumento de coleta e análise de dados, as entrevistas semiestruturadas e análise de conteúdo. Neste artigo está descrito a melhoria contínua com a aplicação do Método da Análise e Solução do Problema (MASP), adaptada a realidade da empresa, a inovação no processo resultou em melhorias significativas, com a economia de 20,32% nos custos das peças.

This study aims to describe the implementation of a project supply strategy, based on
the Just in Sequence concepts; highlighting its difficulties and benefits. The case is
described as a Brazilian metal-mechanic company that operates in the assembly of road
transport and freight vehicles, being one of the market leaders in Brazil and around the
world. The results show clear evidence that the new method presented difficulties
related to the discipline of the employees in effectively using the JIS tool, however, it
presents concrete innovations related to communication processes between the areas of
production and stocks scheduling, as well as the reduction in inventories components
within the production process, increasing the efficiency of the assembly line
