Model for capacity analysis in research projects at higher education institution

Abstract

Higher education institutions in Brazil are growing strongly due to demand by industry professionals and the demand for new technologies. To exploit this growth and become a benchmark in its segment, the institutions have been deepening in methodologies applied in industries to become more competitive. Thus, this article aims to develop a model to analyze the execution capabilities in research project of a higher education institution. This model applies concepts capability, simplex method and modeling scenarios for generating scenarios, resulting in a maximization of the ratio of the rate margin total capacity contribution. This result is indicative of viability of the project under review. The validation of this study was conducted by analyzing a group of environmental research laboratory projects of a higher education institution. At the end of the study can be seen the model of efficiency for decision making, demonstrating that it is possible to generate scenarios that focus on important aspects for the given context.
