Abstract(s)
Partindo da importância que os materiais têm no cumprimento de missões, o objetivo
do presente estudo é propor contributos para otimizar a gestão do ciclo de vida dos
equipamentos militares principais nas Forças Armadas Portuguesas, potenciando uma
elevada prontidão de forças.
Assim, a investigação começou por estudar e estabelecer uma base concetual do ciclo
de vida dos materiais, tendo adotado como referência as fases, modelo do ciclo de vida e
processos de gestão associados da Organização do Tratado do Atlântico Norte. Na sequência
e assente no conceito de prontidão, foi possível constatar que uma elevada prontidão das
forças terá de ser garantida pela gestão do ciclo de vida dos equipamentos.
Da análise ao caso nacional, face ao modelo de referência adotado, e a exemplos em
organizações internacionais e países aliados, foi possível identificar oportunidades de
melhoria na gestão dos equipamentos militares em Portugal. Para tal foi usado um raciocínio
dedutivo, apoiado numa estratégia de investigação qualitativa e num desenho de pesquisa
comparativo, utilizando como técnicas de recolha de dados, a análise documental e
entrevistas semiestruturadas.
No final e em resultado da investigação são apresentadas nove medidas passíveis de
ser implementadas nas Forças Armadas Portuguesas, no sentido de otimizar a gestão do ciclo
de vida dos equipamentos militares principais, potenciando uma elevada prontidão de forças.
Based on the importance that materials have in the fulfillment of missions, the aim of this study is to contribute to optimize the life cycle management of the main military equipment in the Portuguese Armed Forces enhancing a high readiness of the forces. Therefore, the investigation started by studying and establishing a conceptual basis for the life cycle of materials adopting as reference the phases, life cycle model and associated management processes of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. In the followup and based on the concept of readiness it was possible to verify that a high readiness of the forces will have to be assured by the equipment life cycle management. From the national case analysis considering the adopted reference model, and international organizations and allied countries examples it was possible to identify improvement opportunities in the management of military equipment in Portugal. To this end, a deductive reasoning was used supported by a qualitative research strategy and a comparative research design using document analysis and semi-structured interviews as data collection techniques. At the end and as a result of the investigation nine measures that can be implemented in the Portuguese Armed Forces are introduced in order to optimize the life cycle management of the main military equipment enhancing a high readiness of the forces.
