A política de manutenção de meios: necessidade de se adequar a capacitação dos órgãos técnicos do Sistema de Abastecimento da Marinha para se obter uma maior eficiência do processo de manutenção regulamentado pela Política de Manutenção de Meios

Abstract

Brazil needs to have a naval power compatible with national defense level required by its geostrategic greatness, its natural resources and i ts claims with the concert of nations. To achieve this goal, within a continued backdrop of b udget constraints, the Brazilian Navy (BN) need to increase the degree of efficiency of the pr ocess of maintaining its naval and thereby achieve maximum availability and reliability of the latter, with scarce resources allocated for this purpose, and then, to achieve the best value f or money possible. The aforementioned process of maintaining, in turn, must be understood as a complex logistical problem, since, for the effective and efficient conduct of maintenance activities, make up arguably required in adequate quantity and quality and the place and tim e defendants, many human and material resources. Thus, one can not speak of effective, ef ficient and effective maintenance without the existence of a logistical support with the same characteristics. In this context, emerges the importance of Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), r ecognized worldwide as a process that aims to plan and guide the implementation of an eff ective logistical support (including maintenance) for a new medium or system throughout its life, with based on the results of studies, complex and detailed, the logistics involv ed and thereby achieve maximum availability of the equipment or system with minima l operating and maintenance costs. The effort of the BN, to implement effectively the ILS, has the involvement of various sectors and Military Organizations, among which we highlight th e Specialized Directors (SD), the amount and importance of the tasks assigned to them in thi s endeavor. However, these SD has demonstrated that not yet are structured and traine d, qualitatively and quantitatively, to conduct their these tasks effectively and efficient ly, negatively impacting the quality and efficiency of the maintenance process. It follows, then, that the BN needs to invest in training this SD, whether to achieve a maintenance process, in fact, effective and efficient. Such investment should focus on the technical staff trai ning, by carrying out extra courses BN, with emphasis on methods, tools and engineering segments employed in ILS process; in the management capability of the same group, especially in the field of knowledge management, to avoid the loss of the latter and experience accu mulated over time; in hiring, by task for a time, military engineers paid reservation in order to draw upon their experiences and mitigate the loss of qualified personnel observed in recent years; and promoting exchange among the staff of the SD and groups that own culture and qua lification in ILS area.
