RESUMO

The immunization has the objective of controlling preventable diseases that cause serious damages to the health of the population. That practice has been used in way systematized starting from the immunization programs whose objective is to supply serums and vaccines for the population. With that the challenge is structuring a logistic system be able to provide the products in the health care facilities efficiently. In Brazil, the logistic problem of the National Immunization Program (PNI) is particularly complex, mainly for the size of the population and of the territorial area. In spite of the importance of the theme, in the national and international literature they are found few works that are, in a general way, concentrated in manuals and guidelines of PNI and the World Organization of Health (WHO). In this research it was made a systemic analysis of the PNIs logistic whose objective was to identify your principal problems and to develop proposals to improve performance. Thus, from the study, was able to identify the absence of integration in the planning of the transport system determine an inefficiency of whole logistics system. In this context, and propose a strategy for the efficiency of transport, was also proposed an information system to help coordinate and integrate the management of logistic processes in order to guide the decision making process.
