Cadeia de suprimentos de gêneros alimentícios: a descentralização como estratégia para fortalecer a resiliência e a capacidade de resposta do SAbM

Abstract

This study critically analyzes the current model of acquisition and distribution of foodstuffs within the Navy Supply System, identifying its operational limitations, logistical risks, and impacts on the responsiveness of the Consuming Military Organizations. It is an applied study, with a qualitative approach and exploratory character, grounded in bibliographic review and documentary analysis of regulations and institutional reports. The theoretical framework encompasses concepts of supply chain management, governance, and outsourcing, with emphasis on the accreditation model in fluid markets provided for in Law No. 14,133/2021. The investigation highlights that the excessive centralization of procurement and distribution, combined with the dependence on single suppliers, undermines flexibility, predictability, and logistical resilience, generating vulnerabilities to defaults, procurement delays, and stock disruptions. The study proposes a new model based on the decentralization of acquisition, outsourcing of distribution logistics, and the accreditation of multiple suppliers, with real-time quotations and direct deliveries to the customer, while preserving control and traceability through a digital platform. The adoption of this system aims to increase supply chain resilience, strengthen responsiveness, expand logistical capillarity, and raise the level of service provided to the organizations. It is concluded that the proposed model is feasible, legally sound, aligned with good governance practices, and compatible with contemporary operational needs, representing a replicable alternative for other supply chains within the Navy.
