Strengthening Competencies in Learning of Industrial Safety Focused on Projects P. Díaz-de-Mera-Sanchez, C. Gónzalez-Gaya, F. Morales, V. Rosales Procedia Engineering, 2015 The acquisition of the fundamentals to assess the importance of industrial safety needs tools to enhance practical learning of this subject. Evaluation techniques and risk prevention, the necessary protective measures, health and safety applicable to the industry and issues concerning the development of a Safety and Hygiene plan are aspects that must be integrated into the competencies of university technical degree. In a previous step, it will be obtained a panoramic of the degree of implementation of matters relating to industrial safety, limiting the study to equivalent degrees, to career of Industrial engineering, pre-Bologna, to provide data on the extent of this subject. It will check on which levels of degree, masters or doctoral studies, exists. The main objective, once obtained the above data, it will provide tools to strengthen practical learning through binding strategies university-industry based on the performance of different projects that satisfy the competences attached.
Agile rediscovering values: Similarities to continuous improvement strategies P. Díaz de Mera, J. M. Arenas, C. González Aip Conference Proceedings, 2012 Research in the late 80's on technological companies that develop products of high value innovation, with sufficient speed and flexibility to adapt quickly to changing market conditions, gave rise to the new set of methodologies known as Agile Management Approach. In the current changing economic scenario, we considered very interesting to study the similarities of these Agile Methodologies with other practices whose effectiveness has been amply demonstrated in both the West and Japan. Strategies such as Kaizen, Lean, World Class Manufacturing, Concurrent Engineering, etc, would be analyzed to check the values they have in common with the Agile Approach.
