Frota própria x frota terceirizada: um estudo comparativo para distribuição na cidade de São Paulo

Abstract

The efficient management of urban transport and cargo distribution plays a fundamental role in the development and dynamics of cities. The assessment of the operational cost of fleets in the context of transport companies in Brazil is fundamental and decisive for sustaining the competitiveness of companies in an increasingly challenging market, both operationally and economically. The main objective of this work is to present a case study to substantiate and support the economic viability for decision-making as to whether the company will operate with its own fleet or an outsourced fleet for urban cargo distribution in the city of São Paulo. In this comparative study, the advantages, and disadvantages of the two approaches will be explored, using the Net Present Value [NPV] method, describing the procedures, and analyzing the results to verify which option would generate more profit for the company over a 5-year horizon.
