Dissertação (Mestrado em Engenharia, Gestão de Processos, Sistemas e Ambiental) - Instituto de Tecnologia e Educação Galileo da Amazônia, Manaus, 2023.https://rigalileo.itegam.org.br/handle/123456789/97The text addresses the evolution of supply chain management, highlighting the emergence and popularization of the term "supply chain" with globalization. The 1950s marks the beginning of efficient management with techniques such as linear programming and simulation. In the following decades, tools such as MRP and the just-in-time concept emerged, making chain management strategic. The 1980s saw technological advances such as ERP systems. Outsourcing appears as a strategy for reducing costs, offering external resources and expertise. Global connectivity and advances in information technology have driven this practice. The text proposes to explore outsourcing as an extension of the business for expansion, presenting an empirical model. Action research is chosen for its suitability for outsourcing projects with experienced teams. The work follows the flow proposed by Cauchick Miguel et al. (2012), covering planning, data collection and analysis, implementation of actions, evaluation of results, report generation and simultaneous monitoring. The practical study focuses on an electronics production industry, proposing the introduction of production outsourcing as an expansion strategy. The method involves collaboration with several departments, such as Quality, Engineering and Production. The practical application results in the expansion of the factory, meeting expected demand without building new structures, using external spaces as a business strategy and increasing costs. The dissertation is justified by the gap in the exploration of practical methodologies for applying outsourcing in production companies. The objectives include proposing an outsourcing methodology for a specific company, analyzing existing techniques in the literature, proposing practices for application in production, analyzing cost reduction, implementing the methodology in a real case and analyzing and monitoring results. The work contributes to the understanding of the selection of companies for outsourcing practices, highlighting the importance of collaboration between contractor and contractor, in addition to providing important insights for specific corporate managers in adopting this expansion and cost reduction strategy.pdf.Gestão da Cadeia de SuprimentosCadeia de SuprimentosExpansão EmpresarialTerceirizaçãoDissertação3.08.00.00-5 Engenharia de Produção
