Modelo de apoio à decisão multicritério para a escolha de parcerias em projetos da AMAZUL

Abstract

The company AMAZUL was created to support Brazilian nuclear development, participating in projects with other government agencies, including the Brazilian Navy, in the nuclear submarine project, and the Nuclear Energy Research Institute, in the development of the multipurpose reactor. To promote development in this area and spread the peaceful use of nuclear energy, AMAZUL has been seeking to establish partnerships with national companies. The use of the Analytical Hierarchy Process, of recognized utility in the academic and business fields, can help this decision making at AMAZUL. The Analytical Hierarchy Process allowed to raise the weights of criteria and their respective sub-criteria, to help the process of choosing the companies or institutions selected for partnerships in the projects. The first criterion is oriented towards the partner company, describing its organizational characteristics, being divided into four sub-criteria: financial health; market position; geographic position; and competence. The second criterion is oriented towards partnership collaboration, it describes the aspects that characterize the interactions between companies, being divided into five sub-criteria: trust; compatibility; complementarity; willingness to share information; and experience in partnerships. The third criterion is project-oriented and describes the research and development features of the potential partner, being divided into four sub-criteria: technical knowledge; technological training; research and development resources; and project expectations. Once the weights of the criteria and sub-criteria were defined, simulations of virtual companies were created to show the practical application of the methodology.
