Productivity Logistics Performance of Brazilian Companies Listed on Stock Exchange of New York Under the World Class Logistics Model Perspective

Abstract

The disclosed information about the logistical activities seem to be set aside at the expense of mandatory information. The World Class Logistics model proposes the logistical performance monitoring of companies focusing four competences: Positioning, Integration, Agility and Measuring. The Measuring competence seeks to show ratios of (1) Cost, (2) Customer Service and Quality, (3) Productivity and (4) Asset Management. It is understood that the model enables the monitoring through some disclosed financial information by public companies. In this context, it is suggested the following research question: what is the Productivity Logistical Performance of Brazilian companies with shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the World Class Logistics model perspective? The sample was composed of fifteen production and trade sectors companies and for data analysis, descriptive statistics segmented in clusters was used. The results show that the companies Braskem, CBD, Perdigao, Sadia and Ultrapar, which composed the cluster 1, did not obtain good performance in Productivity Logistical indicators in general. The companies Ambev, Aracruz, CSN, Cosan, Embraer, Gafisa, Gerdau and VCPA, which formed the cluster 2, have been highlighted in Operational Outlay versus Dispatched Goods and Total Output ratios. The cluster 3, composed of the companies Petrobras and Vale, expressed the best general performance in Logistical Productivity ratios. This happened because the Operational Profit growth has overcome the inferior results of the other ratios.
