A capacidade regionalizada de estocar óleo diesel marítimo e a prontidão dos meios navais da Marinha do Brasil: uma análise das interferências por meio da matriz SWOT

Abstract

The Brazilian Navy's ability to establish regional stocks of maritime fuels varies across the country's geographic regions. To meet the fuel demands of its ships, the Force's supply system combines internal and contracted resources, with a significant involvement of third-party distributors in various regions. The vast expanse of Brazilian Jurisdictional Waters and the different possibilities for the use of Naval Power provoke reflection on the effectiveness and reliability of this logistics model. This study aims to understand how the formation of regional fuel stocks at Naval Bases affects the readiness of Navy vessels. To address this analysis, it will use a SWOT approach, comparing the strengths and weaknesses of stock formation with real opportunities and threats from the external environment. This will allow for an assessment of the Navy's strategy in different regions and the identification of the need for adjustments to improve the supply system and, consequently, the readiness of the ships. The content of these analyses will contribute to informed strategic decisions focused on investments in infrastructure adaptation or process improvement to address identified weaknesses. The discussion on inventory management, therefore, highlights three categories of costs: maintenance, requisition/purchase, and stockouts. The strategy of maintaining stocks close to demand seeks greater responsiveness, while reducing stocks aims to minimize maintenance costs.
