A tool for monitoring the strategic planning of public higher education institutions.
Strategic planning, process automation, information systems, public service.
Public higher education institutions face significant challenges in integrating strategic planning with budget execution. The lack of an integrated system for tracking planned and executed resources results in difficulties in maintaining a clear and up-to-date view of expenditures, compromising transparency, financial control, and resource management efficiency. Currently, budget control is fragmented and, in many cases, carried out manually or through systems that do not provide a consolidated view of the data, making strategic decision-making more difficult. To address these challenges, the proposed solution is the creation of a computational tool integrated with the Unified Public Administration System (SUAP). This tool will allow for monitoring strategic planning and budget execution within the case study of IFRN, centralizing and automating processes such as budget reallocation, credit movement, and expense requests, using Python and Django to ensure execution aligns with institutional planning. The tool's development includes planning, development, testing, validation, and staff training. Although the tool is still under development, the expected results are promising. Operational efficiency is anticipated to improve by reducing the time and effort spent on budget control, allowing those involved to focus on strategic decisions. The centralization and automation of processes will eliminate fragmentation and the risk of inconsistencies, while updated and centralized data will enable managers to make more effective decisions aligned with the institution's strategic goals. These results will contribute to more efficient and transparent public resource management, strengthening IFRN's institutional performance and potentially serving as a model for other federal institutions.
