Beef cattle and sheep systems management: Computer tools to design and evaluate productive scenarios
The increase in the human population and its consumption of animal protein have led to greater complexity in defining integrative practices to develop efficient production systems. The biological and economic sustainability of livestock systems can be focused on two lines: the increase in the efficiency of resource use with an internal sufficiency of the system and the structuring of functional integral systems. Market liberalization, changing customer expectations, technological discontinuities, and global competition cause the sources of competitive advantage to shift, forcing companies to continually respond to the demands of a dynamic environment. The adoption of a quality-oriented management model is one of the alternatives that has been most successful in facing the challenges of this global and competitive environment. However, the orientation towards quality generally requires innovations that must be evaluated to verify if they create value in the company. Value creation assessment is a concept that has not been applied in-depth in the bovine and sheep production sector and is probably what explains the reluctance of producers to adopt innovative technological alternatives. Value creation is related to the approach with which the objectives of the company are approached, which have evolved from a single objective, which is the maximization of profit, to the most recent one in which the coexistence of a plurality of objectives is recognized. This diversity of objectives can be integrated into one, which is the maximization of the company's value in the market.

| Résumé: | The increase in the human population and its consumption of animal protein have led to greater complexity in defining integrative practices to develop efficient production systems. The biological and economic sustainability of livestock systems can be focused on two lines: the increase in the efficiency of resource use with an internal sufficiency of the system and the structuring of functional integral systems. Market liberalization, changing customer expectations, technological discontinuities, and global competition cause the sources of competitive advantage to shift, forcing companies to continually respond to the demands of a dynamic environment. The adoption of a quality-oriented management model is one of the alternatives that has been most successful in facing the challenges of this global and competitive environment. However, the orientation towards quality generally requires innovations that must be evaluated to verify if they create value in the company. Value creation assessment is a concept that has not been applied in-depth in the bovine and sheep production sector and is probably what explains the reluctance of producers to adopt innovative technological alternatives. Value creation is related to the approach with which the objectives of the company are approached, which have evolved from a single objective, which is the maximization of profit, to the most recent one in which the coexistence of a plurality of objectives is recognized. This diversity of objectives can be integrated into one, which is the maximization of the company's value in the market. |
