Within the scope of logistics, studies about air transportation have brought high relevance since this is a mode of transport with significant growth rate in recent years and considerable economic and social contribution. In this context, the air cargo terminals are strategic components for logistics, however, present a few data, especially when it comes to the analysis of ground services. This study uses the TRIZ methodology to identify the limitations and possibilities of innovation in logistics operations of an airport terminal cargo. The results demonstrate that the adoption of strategies could significantly improve storage of loads in storage disposition and thus the operational quality. Other results are presented in order to reconcile theory and practice on the gaps identified. As a suggestion for future research, is proposed to implement the proposals in a larger amount of actual cases in order to be evaluated results and quantitative implications.
It is anticipated that the next twenty years the air transport will present an increase of almost double the growth rate of world GDP. This accelerated expansion of the sector has caused some negative consequences, such as the significant increase in carbon dioxide emissions. The aviation industry has already committed in changing this scenario and the target is to halve CO2 emissions by 2050. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to planning ecoefficient aviation fuel, which allows the reduction by 80% of CO2 emissions. The identification of alternatives to this replacement has been carried out in different research groups; however, it is clear that the planning of innovation has been carried out not integrated manner. In this sense, this study seeks to fill this theoretical gap and to contribute to this issue proposing a management tool to guide innovation in this sector. From Delphi method, it was found that the proposed scheduling method, identified as IPMEF-AT, would be considered applicable to the context in which it is intended, the innovation planning of ecoefficient air transportation fuels. The result obtained demonstrates the viability of IPMEF-AT and suggestions of experts were used in order to improve it.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
