O plano de gestão de logística sustentável nas universidades públicas federais do Rio Grande do Sul:uma proposta para a Universidade Federal de Pelotas

Abstract

The Public Administration has sought strategies that rethink the current patterns of production and consumption. The Sustainable Logistics Management Plan (SLM) is a planning tool that allows the organ or entity to establish practices of sustainability and rationalization of expenses and processes in Public Administration. This study aimed to elaborate a proposal for intervention with measures for the implementation of SLM at the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPEL). To do so, it was carried out an analysis of the six Federal Public Universities of Rio Grande do Sul regarding its institutional aspects and Environmental Management, adherence to the SLM, and a diagnosis of the process of implementation of the plans in the institutions. This research characterizes, from the objectives viewpoint, as descriptive and exploratory, of applied nature and qualitative approach. In order to achieve the objectives, an documental study of the plans and an interview was conducted with a semi-structured questionnaire with the person responsible for SLM in each of the six institutions studied. The interviews were conducted from December of 2018 to February of 2019. The questionnaire was prepared based on Normative Instruction No. 10, dated November 12, 2012, which establishes the rules for the preparation of the SLM. It was identified that three of the six universities have an approved environmental policy in their superior bodies. From these six institutions, only the Federal University of Pelotas did not implement SLM. In relation to the implementation process, institutions have difficult to make the plan operational by misunderstandings in the preparation of the document, such as the lack of clear attribution of responsibility and the elaboration of goals without parameters and established metrics. The study suggests actions for UFPEL as a definition of responsibilities, construction of parameters and metrics for measuring and forecasting training and awareness campaigns regarding the importance of SLM, which were elaborated to assist UFPel in the process of joining the plan, considering the performed diagnoses.
