Análise comparativa dos custos operacionais/ planilha de frete dos modais rodoviário versus ferroviário

Abstract

The objective of this work was to carry out a comprehensive analysis of operational costs and freight spreadsheets on two routes operated by a road transport company and a rail transport company for the transport of wheat. A detailed study was made of data relating to fixed and variable costs, as well as administrative aspects related to each mode of transport, and their respective freight and profits obtained. These were calculated using the methodologies proposed by Lima (2001) and BNDES (2011), as well as the freight values ​​and profits obtained on each route: Sete Lagoas/MG to Rio de Janeiro/RJ (route 1); and, Campinas/SP to Santos/SP (route 2), for road and rail transport respectively. From these calculations, the following results were obtained: route 1 carried out by road obtained a profit of 50.72%, while route 1 carried out by rail obtained a profit of 10.22% in relation to operating costs. And road route 2 obtained a profit of 52.58%, while the same rail route obtained a profit of 45.44% in relation to operating costs. The results revealed important insights into the direct interconnection between the costs involved and the profits obtained on each route by each modal, noting the importance of identifying the costs and profits of companies for each route, in relation to the country's current logistics scenario, making It is a challenge for companies to overcome deficiencies in cargo transport management. The hypothesis that the choice of mode is most appropriate for each situation in order to obtain the best results in relation to the percentage of profit on the operating costs of each route was confirmed.
