• Abstract:

  This article presents how an analysis based on the premises of TCO can provide a more holistic view of maximizing performance in actions relating to supply strategies. To this end, this research was based on a practical case study which consisted of carrying out a comparative analysis using the principles of TCO modeling to assess the feasibility of a project to optimize the cost of electricity. Among the main results, it could be seen that the scope of TCO's contributions went beyond the limits of the short-term vision by suggesting broader evaluative panoramas regarding the strategic, financial and operational aspects involved in investment decisions in long-term logistics projects - which can be verified through the non-linear vision provided by the quantitative and qualitative optics of TCO that provide the possibility of choosing fully viable logistics project alternatives.
