Proposta de um modelo de gestão de ativos para uma empresa de transporte de passageiros por ônibus no município de Recife - PE

Abstract

The conditions in which the vehicles usually run, the type of items transported, the quality of the fuel and even the frequency with which maintenance is performed are some variables that, among others, impact the decision-making process when carrying out the management of active. One of the great challenges for managers who need to renew their vehicle fleet is to guarantee the quality and efficiency of the services provided without causing major impacts on operating costs and, consequently, on the profitability of the business. With all these challenges, this study aims to answer the question-problem: what is the most viable way to perform the assets management and the renewal of fleets of urban passenger vehicles? With so many details directly influencing this decision-making process, it becomes necessary to establish appropriate methods for this, as the values of investment in asset management of urban bus companies are high, just a wrong decision to compromise operations and health organization's financial position. This work proposes the development of an asset management model for a public transportation company in the capital of Pernambuco, considering the needs from fleet renewal, observing the balance between the quality of the service offered to its customers, the investments and the operation costs and the profitability desired by the shareholders.
