Study of Logistics Costs Renato Reis

This work aims to study logistics costs applied in a red ceramic industry, through the linear depreciation method, in order to measure and reduce them, increasing satisfaction levels of all involved, as well as presenting better negotiation options for managers. This method of depreciation estimates a loss of value of the asset in a constant manner throughout its useful life. In particular, the 924F/2010 Loader machine was chosen, as it has a significant investment in its acquisition, obtaining better visibility in depreciation over time. For this study will be considered all the costs involved to keep the resource in good state of use. Thus, two analyses are made, the first referring to the use of the machine without opting for sharing it, and the second relating to the simple practice of sharing resources/chains, as well as the leasing of the same in idle hours; for this, a specific adaptation of the GEIPOT specialized literature is made, focusing on relevant factors to determine costs in general, over a period of 120 months.
