Viabilidade econômica de um modelo de terceirização da frota de veículos oficiais do campus Medianeira da UTFPR

Abstract

Public institutions of higher education are increasingly restricted budgets, causing the managers of these universities to seek to balance costs, always seeking new ways to adjust spending in the face of declining revenues. The efficiency in fleet management in the public sector is of paramount importance for an optimization in the control of public spending, as it is an area responsible for high investments and expenses. To meet transportation needs, these institutions can choose to use their own fleet or make use of a outsourcing fleet. The legislation dealing with the use of vehicles by the public administration, determines that all public institutions must examine, among the models of contraction existing in the market, those that present itself as the most economically advantageous model for the provision of transport services. As this analysis was not performed by the researched institution, there is a need for a study to be done with the objective of complying with the legislation, identifying the most cost-efficient management model. Given this and the search for a more efficient economic management with a focus on reducing costs, this research aims to find out which model of operation of the fleet is more economically viable: the use of its own fleet, the use of a outsourcing fleet or the mixed use of fleet. The overall objective of this study is to investigate whether it is more economically viable to maintain its own fleet or to outsource the fleet of official vehicles of the UTFPR Medianeira Campus. To achieve this goal, the specific objectives are: to carry out the survey of the costs to maintain the fleet of official vehicles on campus Medianeira; identify the costs of outsourced fleet per km wheeled; obtain the costs with outsourced fleet per rental; to determine what would be the operation model of the vehicle fleet most economically advantageous for the Campus; and generate a Technical and Technological Product, proposing a fleet operation model. For this, an exploratory research was carried out, with a comparative and quantitative approach, using the case study method, using documentary analysis. In data collection, documentary research was used in the institution's reports, reviewing all transportation costs in the period 2018 to 2021. Market price research was also used through bidding processes and through request of budgets. The result of this study will indicates that the most economically advantageous vehicle fleet operating model for the Medianeira Campus is the use of a mixed fleet, keeping a large part of the vehicle fleet as its own and outsourcing only one type of vehicle.
