Desenvolvimento de uma metodologia para a gestão de estoques de itens utilizados na manutenção de viaturas de um batalhão militar logístico

Abstract

The 4th Logistic Battalion (B Log), located in the city of Santa Maria, is an entity of the Brazilian Army that, among other activities, performs maintenance of the vehicles in its coverage area. Because this is a public body, there are various rules and bureaucratic issues that must be met to acquire materials, in addition to limited resources. However, there is a requirement for the maintenance of its strategic functions which includes the availability of vehicles when necessary. This work involves the development of a methodology for the management of inventory of items used in the maintenance of vehicles that are carried out in the 4th Logistic Battalion of Santa Maria. This work involved the following steps: (I) to understand the operation of inventory management in the B Log, (II) to collect data on demand and costs of items and prioritize the most relevant ones, (III) to forecast the demand for priority items, (IV) determine minimum quantities to be kept in stock, (V) determine quantities to be tendered annually. As a result, this study presents a methodology to determine the inventory and the quantities to be requested according to the organization scenario. The use of the methodology developed improves the availability of vehicles and reduces the inventory costs.
