Abstract

Post-Cold War Military Operations havepresented  new  concepts  of  AsymmetricalWar that require a greater flexibility of theForces  in  Logistics  Support.  The  study  ofbusiness teachings can improve the flow ofMilitary  Logistics.  The  Logistics  Business flow seeks the integration of the supply chainto  achieve  the  minimum  effort  in  terms  ofhuman   and   financial   resources,   usingcomputerized  programs  that  facilitate  thi smeasurement. The Military Logistics has its stock  levels  more  specific  than  those  of Business  Logistics  what  guarantees  larger reliability   to   that   flow.   However,   the Brazilian   Army   needs   to   optimize   itslogistics  management  mechanisms,  mainlythrough   the   support   of   computerizedprograms.   This   action   will   ensure   animprovement   in   its   support   flow.   This Military   Logistics   necessity   can   beminimized   by   the   adoption   of   positivebusiness logistics experiences.
