Logistics integration between the Manaus Free Trade Zone (ZFM) and Venezuela: evaluation of the modal through the Fuzzy logic for the flow of production in the electronics sector

Abstract

The Logistics Integration between the Manaus Free Trade Zone (ZFM) and Venezuela regarding the flow of production in the electrical and electronic sector, has specificities in its commercial activity. Competition and the rapid increase in consumption form a more competitive environment, where the ability to meet fluctuating demand in time stands as a central component of competitive advantage. The main objective of this research was: To develop a Fuzzy inference model for the evaluation of the most viable modal for the integration between the Manaus Free Trade Zone (ZFM) and Venezuela in the flow of production in the electronics sector. The Methodological Process was developed in three phases: 1. Identification of the indicators for the Evaluation of Available Modals; 2. Fuzzy "Inference" System Modeling; 3. Experiment of the Proposed Model, with its respective stages: Phase 1 (definition of the inference levels of the indicators), Phase 2 (Development of Fuzzy Sets, Development of the "Inference" and Simulation Rules in the MatlabR2013 software), Phase 3 (Compilation of the Indicator Aggregation Algorithm, Simulation of the Results in 3D and Analysis of the Results Obtained). Based on the observed data from the 3D results, in figure 16, a detailed analysis of the behavior of the variables was allowed. The results obtained with the proposed model were satisfactory in the analysis of the performance classifications of the modes, it was possible to identify the most relevant variables for the flow of the production of the electrical and electronic sector between the Manaus Free Trade Zone and the Venezuela.
