Abstract

The purpose of this research is to present the evolution of economic and organizational change resulting from the demands imposed by the market needs of a company dedicated to the production of cement. The use of productive resources, the control and measurement of capital as a determining factor for the production of cement and the access to new types of related businesses, is the objective of this article. Its development was carried out through the identification of concepts such as: vertical organization, organization by processes, organization by people, causal diagram, flow chart and economy of scope. The research was carried out empirically by observing the activities developed within the process and interviewing its main actors, identifying through qualitative diagrams the cause-and-effect relationship of the independent and dependent variables, and analyzing through quantitative diagrams the impact of their behavior on the organization's economy. The results of the changes made validated that, an adaptive organization, which creates value with multidisciplinary teams, can reconfigure the operational activities for different types of business within an organization, generating profitability with an economy of scope greater than zero.
