Indicadores de produtividade dos recursos orçamentários da UFSM

Abstract

Nowadays the world seeks productivity and quality as it has never done before. In this task of great challenges, it is verified that waste, defeats and inefficiency are no longer acceptable in modern life. In this study of the productivity analysis of the Fed-eral University of Santa Maria (UFSM), Quantitative Methods were used to estimate the productivity indices, in order to accomplish a better “provision application” of the budgetary resources. Determining the indices of partial and total productivity enabled a better understanding of productivity in relation to the used expenses. In this con-text, production is the number of students enrolled from 2000 to 2004. So, the pro-ductivity for the years of 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 in function of the arithmetical index was foreseen, identifying the expenses with larger occurrence in the productiv-ity index, that is, the connection between expenses and the number of students en-rolled these years. The focuses of waste were verified by the analysis of the obtained indices, through which productivity indices were calculated in function of the ex-penses that the University had with the students enrolled in this period. After the analysis of the results, with the comparison of the total productivity indices, the fol-lowing conclusions were made: there was a 10,39% decrease from 2000 to 2001; a decrease of 53,25% from 2000 to 2002, an 48,06% decrease from 2000 to 2003 and finally, a 49,36% decrease from 2000 to 2004. A large difference was verified in terms of partial productivity, mainly of capital in function of the real distribution of the budget according to this source. Apart from the obtained results, this study presented a theoretical reference about the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), produc-tivity, index numbers and review of the basic concepts applied.
