Proposta de um sistema de informação gerencial para o manejo de apiários do Instituto Federal de Minas Gerais – campus Bambuí

Abstract

This research aims to structure the management of apiaries based on an information system, which allows for better planning and support for decision making by the manager in the management practices of the Federal Institute of Minas Gerais Bambuí campus. The performance of the hive management activity effectively reduces factors that directly affect production, such as diseases, swarming, food shortages, among others. Production excellence is guaranteed through good management and the beekeeper needs to control information about each hive, such as origin, genetics and age of the queen, since these details are important to evaluate the quality and efficiency in the production of honey and honey. propolis. The Apiculture sector of the Federal Institute of Minas Gerais (IFMG) Bambuí campus, lacks instruments that facilitate management of the managements and assist in decision making, this lack ends up resulting in a less efficient management of the production process. The construction of this research is based on the Design Science Research methodology, consisting of four phases: Phase 1 - Problem, problem identification; Phase 2 - Solution, construction of the design models; Phase 3 - Development, construction of the artifact; Phase - 4 Evaluation, feasibility and utility analysis of the artifact. In the development, a prototype of an information system for the management of this institution's management is presented. The functionalities: activity schedule, management history, event records and production reports per hive, are resources that proved to be suitable as management tools. The planning and implementation process was built with reference to interviews with the manager of the beekeeping laboratory at IFMG-Bambuí, in order to analyze and propose the necessary elements for the construction of the design.
