Abstract

Studies focusing on measures had their beginnings in the early nineteenth century. First, such studies have emerged from the experiences of some French and German researchers , and decades after the call comes Classical Theory of Measure (CTM). Some authors suggest that the CTM is quite limited and , because of this limitation arises from the Item Response Theory (IRT). The Item Response Theory , widely used in the production of educational measures , is a theory that allows us to measure the cognitive ability of a student, the stress level of a person and the degree of organizational maturity of a company. The Monitoring System of Productive Arrangements (SIMAP) is a computer system developed at the Technological Centre for UFC , which lets you compare the performance between companies according to 46 criteria pre - established by links and various production chains . This study aims to apply Item Response Theory , in particular , the 2-parameter logistic model to analyze the degree of maturity in relation to management technologies , based on data collected from SIMAP , whose current purpose the competitive benchmarking. The data used in the work are of a secondary nature , from 39 items evaluated in 109 companies registered in SIMAP . The questionnaire proved to be consistent , with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.94 . Factor analysis identified the dimensionality of the instrument and the total of 39 items considered in the study , the IRT has identified 37 items with good discrimination (a > 0.7) . The company with the highest degree of maturity (67.88) belongs to the textile and clothing supply chain and large (+ 400 employees). It was observed that most companies (58.72%) is located between the levels 40 and 50 of the maturity scale.
