Resumo: This article examines the distribution chain of liquid petroleum fuels in Brazil, with focus on the economic evaluation of the investment costs required for the expansion or construction of additional tanks with corresponding operational facilities, and additional safety stocks to hold the product in the Secondary Basis. The relevance of the study is due to the Liquid Fuel Distribution Model used in Brazil, in which the railroad system plays a significant role, but presents inefficiencies in the transfer operations. The present study leads to the conclusion that, under an economic point of view, the alternative of investing in larger tankage capacity and to operate with more safety stocks is convenient to overcome the railroad failures and to reduce the eventual use of the road transportation system, especially during the harvesting period. The study has also included a sensitivity analysis of the proposals given some changes in the relevant problem data.

A relevância do estudo realizado deve-se ao fato de que, no Modelo de Distribuição de Combustíveis Líquidos no Brasil, o sistema ferroviário tem apresentado ineficiências nas operações de transferências de combustíveis líquidos de Bases Primárias para Bases Secundárias. Concluiu-se que a realização dos investimentos em estoque de segurança e em tancagens adicionais nas Bases Secundárias seria a melhor alternativa sob o ponto de vista econômico, de modo a melhor se prevenir contra a incipiente confiabilidade do sistema ferroviário, especialmente nos períodos de safra agrícola. O estudo inclui, também, uma análise de sensibilidade da proposta com respeito a alterações nos dados do problema.edUNITAU2013-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://www.lajbm.com.br/index.php/journal/article/view/128Latin American Journal of Business Management; Vol. 4 No. 1 (2013)Latin American Journal of Business Management; Vol. 4 Núm. 1 (2013)Latin American Journal of Business Management; v. 4 n. 1 (2013)2178-4833reponame:Latin American Journal of Business Managementinstname:Universidade de Taubaté (UNITAU)instacron:UNITAUporhttps://www.lajbm.com.br/index.php/journal/article/view/128/81Araujo, Sérgio de SouzaMiccuci, Valéria Campos Gomes de SouzaPizzolato, Nélio Dominguesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-09-02T02:59:49Zoai:ojs2.lajbm.com.br:article/128Revistahttps://www.lajbm.com.br/index.php/journal/indexPUBhttp://www.lajbm.net/index.php/journal/oaimarcela.moraes@unitau.com.br||editor@lajbm.net2178-48332178-4833opendoar:2013-09-02T02:59:49Latin American Journal of Business Management - Universidade de Taubaté (UNITAU)false
