<p>This examination work aims to describe how a supply chain around the biggest pellets factory in Sweden will be configured in a logistic perspective. The plant and associated infrastructure are in the building phase and will have production start on the 2 November 2009. The key question that is set in this examination work is to recognize the logistic processes which are essential for an effective flow of materials and information that link the source of supply with the ultimate customer. In order to get the answer, a flowcharting of these supply chain processes is required for understanding the pipeline activities such as input and storage of raw material, the production system and the output of pellets to the customers. The basis for this supply chain map is a model-based representation of these logistic processes and activities that are involved around the pellets factory. This model was configured according to scientific theories and the supply chain's fundamental concept. In these maps, the model will highlight the network of inter-linked activities in the system and finally show the opportunities for recommendations and improvements in productivity through reengineering those logistic processes.</p>

Strategic alliances are a way for organizations to adapt to changes in the economic environment through better market positioning, technological capacity building, cost reduction, access to new resources and investment viability. In this context, the Brazilian automotive sector is an important segment to be studied, due to its great importance is not economic scenario. Since the 1990s, this sector has been constantly evolving and has used cooperation agreements in the quest for competitiveness and greater profits. Industrial decentralization to other states and municipalities is one of the changes that have taken place in recent years. Two different automakers settled in Goiás, in 2015, with a possibility of greater gains and lower investments and logistical issues, identifying a need to adopt an alliance strategy, generating new logistics processes and a new structure of the productive chain in this sector. Thus, this research aims to identify and analyze what changes occurred in the logistics process before the formation of the strategic alliance between automakers in the non-Southeast Goiano auto industry. Non-theoretical concepts are presented on the automotive production chain, business logistic processes, strategic alliances, behavior structure and performance. For the purpose of the work carried out in a case study and an analysis of the documentary from the Value Stream Mapping (VSM) made available by one of the organizations studied. Through documentary analysis, spreadsheets were elaborated demonstrating as quantitative variables related to the logistic process before and after a strategic alliance between organizations. Through the analysis, we identify that as modifications in the logistics process after a merger between as organizations of the automotive sector as variations in the reduction without time, distance and inventory as relevant to reduce logistical costs of supply and freight of the productive chain . On the other hand, it is concluded that the formation of a strategic alliance brought, besides advantages for the logistic process, a reduction of costs and a better operational operation of the automotive production chain. / As transformações do cenário empresarial globalizado desafiam as organizações a adotarem estratégias que as direcionem aos diferenciais competitivos do mercado. As alianças estratégicas são uma forma de as organizações se adequarem às mudanças do ambiente econômico através de um melhor posicionamento de mercado, capacitação tecnológica, redução de custos, acesso a novos recursos e viabilização de investimentos. Neste contexto, o setor automotivo brasileiro é um importante segmento a ser estudado, devido a sua grande importância no cenário econômico. Este setor, desde a década de 1990, passa por constante evolução e utiliza acordos de cooperação na busca por competitividade e maiores lucros. A descentralização industrial para outros estados e municípios é uma das mudanças que ocorreram nos últimos anos. Duas diferentes montadoras se instalaram em Goiás, quando em 2015, com a possibilidade de maiores ganhos ou menores investimentos e por questões logísticas, identificaram a necessidade de adotarem uma aliança estratégia, gerando novos processos logísticos e uma nova estrutura da cadeia produtiva deste setor. Assim esta pesquisa objetiva identificar e analisar quais modificações ocorreram no processo logístico diante da formação da aliança estratégica entre montadoras do setor automobilístico no Sudeste Goiano. São apresentados no referencial teórico conceitos sobre cadeia produtiva automobilística, processos logísticos empresariais, alianças estratégicas, estrutura conduta e desempenho. Para atingir o objetivo do trabalho foi realizado um estudo de caso e a análise do documental a partir do Mapeamento do Fluxo de Valor (VSM) disponibilizado por uma das organizações estudadas. Por meio da análise documental foram elaboradas planilhas demonstrando as variáveis quantitativas relacionadas ao processo logístico antes e após a aliança estratégica entre as organizações. Por meio da análise identificou-se que as modificações no processo logístico após uma fusão entre as organizações do setor automotivo as variações na redução no tempo, na distância e no estoque foram relevantes para a redução dos custos logísticos de fornecimento e de fretes da cadeia produtiva. Portanto, conclui-se que a formação da aliança estratégica trouxe, além de vantagens para o processo logístico, a redução de custos e uma melhor eficiência operacional da cadeia produtiva automobilística.

The dissertation deals with parameters of logistic processes structure in a manufacturing company. The logistic processes structure in a manufacturing company means the logistic processes and their relationships in a manufacturing company. The main objective of the thesis is to create an overview of parameters of the logistic processes structure in manufacturing companies. Cognition and formation of the logistic processes structure is important for planning, control and management of elements of the logistic chain. The thesis focuses on the logistic processes structure in a manufacturing company and the examination of their instantiations. To achieve the objective, in the thesis it was necessary to propose a unifying classification of logistic processes, as well as the general classification for the integration of logistic functions in the organization of a manufacturing company. The proposed classifications and proposed parameters allowed to compare the results of research concerning the comparison of different logistic processes (or operations) in companies.
