Terceirização de serviços: oportunidades de aperfeiçoamentos na Função Logística Suprimento, por meio da utilização de operadores logísticos

Abstract

After the end of the Cold war, the world began to recognize the decline of the military threats, thinking straightly about the reduction of the budget allocated to the Armed Forces. Countries with great military expression began a process for outsourcing non-core services, to produce economy and focus resources, for his activity end. Then, specialized companies appear to offer supply services to the troops in combat, over sea, offering assembly and security of installations, communications, transport, food, among others. Now, this tendency began to be used inside the national territories. The general objective of this article is to verify opportunities to outsourcing services in the Brazilian Armed Forces, through Third-party Logistic Providers, reducing costs and improving the management processes. Outsourcing in Armed Forces already is recognized as an efficient practice in other countries. This study is not aimed to support the war time, but to provide to the Armed Forces necessary items for their operation and training, at the desired time and place, without the need to move their military means, which should be focused in military operations.
