Proposal to improve the transparency and efficiency of the CONFEA/CREA system using the Gaussian AHP Method

Abstract

The present work and its applications are based on the necessity for the Brazilian Public Administration, in general, to comply with the constitutional principles established in Article 37 of the current Federal Constitution of Brazil. The primary focus is to address the principles of transparency and efficiency, which are central to this study and supported by the Transparency Law (LC nº 131/2009) and the Access to Information Law (Law nº 12,527/2011). The analysis will explore intrinsic elements of the CONFEA/CREA system to process and analyze data related to airfare, daily allowances, and accommodation expenses of the Regional Council of Engineering, Agronomy and Geosciences of the State of São Paulo – Brazil (CREA/SP). The objective is to propose compliance solutions linked to Data Science and Operational Research to standardize the aforementioned Councils in promoting transparency. Technological enhancements are suggested to improve the transparency of public acts, aiming to maximize efficiency. To achieve greater administrative and operational efficiency and effectiveness for Local Authorities, the Gaussian AHP Method is proposed. Key outcomes include improved information on the transparency portal, enhanced data accessibility, clarity, and completeness, increased analytical capacity for management and supervision, and greater visibility of administrative actions. These efforts aim to foster better public management practices and enhance decision-making precision through the application of Multi-Criteria Decision Support methods.
