Abstract(s)
A logística é um componente estratégico na cadeia de abastecimento, particularmente no setor metalomecânico, que envolve a produção e transformação de metais em componentes e estruturas complexas. Este trabalho visa analisar a gestão dos custos logísticos neste setor, uma vez que a literatura existente é limitada nesse contexto. Para isso, foi aplicado um questionário a empresas do setor metalomecânico a nível europeu, com o objetivo de avaliar as práticas logísticas, os desafios e os resultados alcançados. No total, foram contabilizadas cerca de 87 respostas de empresas de 9 países. Além disso, verificou-se que 36,8% das empresas analisadas atuam diretamente no segmento da transformação, utilizando predominantemente o transporte rodoviário como principal meio de distribuição, o que reflete a sua flexibilidade e adequação às operações regionais. O estudo também identificou uma dualidade nas estratégias de mercado: enquanto 28 empresas têm maior concentração no mercado interno, outras 17 adotam uma abordagem de exportação quase exclusiva, evidenciando diferentes abordagens competitivas. Quanto às práticas logísticas, a Incoterm ExWorks (EXW) foi a mais utilizado, sinalizando uma preferência por transferir responsabilidades e custos para os clientes. Adicionalmente, 55 empresas relataram que os custos logísticos afetam diretamente a sua competitividade. Este estudo conclui que a otimização dos custos logísticos é crucial para a competitividade no setor metalomecânico, sendo necessário um maior alinhamento com as melhores práticas globais para incrementar a eficiência logística e reduzir custos operacionais.
Logistics is a strategic component in the supply chain, particularly in the metalworking sector, which involves the production and transformation of metals into complex components and structures. This work aims to analyze the management of logistics costs in this sector, as the existing literature is limited in this context. To this end, a questionnaire was applied to metalworking companies across Europe, with the objective of assessing logistics practices, challenges, and the outcomes achieved. In total, approximately 87 responses were collected from companies in 9 countries. Additionally, it was found that 36.8% of the companies analyzed operate directly in the transformation segment, predominantly using road transport as the main means of distribution, reflecting its flexibility and suitability for regional operations. The study also identified a duality in market strategies: while 28 companies focus more on the domestic market, another 17 adopt an almost exclusive export approach, highlighting different competitive strategies. Regarding logistics practices, the Incoterm ExWorks (EXW) was the most used, indicating a preference for transferring responsibilities and costs to customers. Furthermore, 55 companies reported that logistics costs directly affect their competitiveness. This study concludes that optimizing logistics costs is crucial for competitiveness in the metalworking sector, requiring greater alignment with global best practices to increase logistics efficiency and reduce operational costs.
