RESUMO

This dissertation presents the study of a method for the operational distribution planning of liquid bulks, that aims the optimization of the corporate resources and the operational cost reduction. Starting by the concept of the knowledge management, it pursuits to extract the company`s best practices through the experience of its professionals. All the information obtained are structured and organized in a support decision system (SAD), in order to build a knowledge base to support and to assist the business processes related with the distribution: demand forecast, supply programming and vehicle routing. Based on bibliography researches well-founded in disciplines related with the analysis of the processes described above and, specially, from the knowledge gained in the company, heuristics solutions are proposed for the distribution planning problems. With the purpose of validating this method utilization, it is presented a study case in a LPG distribution company (liquid petroleum gas), comparing the results achieved before and after its application. The key performance indicators adopted present benefits and add values, ratifying the efficiency of the method above mentioned.
