This study investigates fleet outsourcing in government from a strategic perspective as it is integrated into the overall strategy of the Department of Transport. This study attempts to overcome some of the problems associated with outsourcing by integrating a number of key aspects of outsourcing including a value chain perspective, core competency thinking and supply base influences into the decision-making process. The background of the research highlights the status quo and examples of similar fleet management projects in Government. These include major projects in National Government, Telkom and City of Johannesburg. The research is motivated by the need for government to find new ways, with limited resources, to achieve maximum efficiency in fleet management by managing these resources and related risks. The value of the research is a holistic approach to the analysis of fleet management the public sector has never been undertaken. The study will also help the state to recognise the impact fleet management has on the state's core activities and offer a tool for measuring fleet management performance. The research methodology is qualitative and will be based on a case study approach, which is associated with the exploratory nature of this study. Outsourcing is justifiable if visible costs decrease, service improves and economies of scale are achieved. / Thesis (MBA)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville, 2006.

A Constituição Federal de 1988, a carta magna do Brasil, foi responsável por estabelecer meios para a modernização na condução da administração pública brasileira. O modelo de administração gerencial, proposto na década subsequente, ampliou o entendimento de que o Estado precisa assemelhar-se cada vez mais à iniciativa privada e tratar as necessidades dos contribuintes como uma empresa trata seus clientes. Este trabalho visa avaliar cenários para substituição de frota na Prefeitura Municipal de Caxias do Sul, avaliando os diferentes custos e critérios para tomada de decisões relativas à substituição. Um método formal é aplicado para calcular a vida útil econômica da frota em análise, baseado em princípios de Engenharia Econômica, aproximando as características de tomada de decisão da administração pública às práticas da iniciativa privada. Diferentes cenários foram simulados que otimizaram a aplicação dos recursos públicos, resultando em melhor aplicação dos recursos públicos. Os resultados das simulações e cenários apontam que se possibilite atingir uma economia de recursos financeiros que podem variar desde 12% e chegar até 41,31%. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2017-08-15T14:30:23Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Vinicius Troian Mezzari.pdf: 2965752 bytes, checksum: 10d64cc6df554f5e68ae0d41993f7416 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2017-08-15T14:30:23Z (GMT).

The management administration model, proposed in the next decade, expanded the understanding that the State should act even more like private companies and deal with tax payers needs the same way a private company deal with customers. This work aims to analyze different scenarios fleet substitution method applied in Caxias do Sul city hall, evaluating the costs relative to fleet and the actual decision taking criteria, regarding fleet substitution. Subsequently, it applies a formal method to calculate the fleet economic life, based on Economic Engineering principles, turning public administration decision making characteristics closer to the private companies’ administration practices, simulating different scenarios, improving public resources application, resulting in better use of the values taken under taxes. Simulations and scenarios results show that it is possible to achieve costs reductions that start from 12% and goes up to 41.31%.
