Abstract

The Brazilian Industry's profile has suffered several changes along the years upon going through many economic stagnation processes to an actual growth process. Brazil has opened its borders for the international market and consequently has increased competitiveness, productivity and the innovation capacity. Through all these changes, the Brazilian companies are getting a more flexible management, and in terms of strategic planning, the companies need to get more flexible tools to help in the decision making process. In this work, the importance of the definition of objectives and strategic lagging and leading indicators in the chain import and export process in the light of strategic planning through the use of Fuzzy Logic System is presented. The referring system is mathematically detailed in Espin and Vanti (2005) and Espin; Becker and Vanti (2005). The system has been applied in a company active in the import and export segment, which is located in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil for 48 years. Therefore, the question is: What's the order of importance of lagging and leading indicators and objectives in the chains import and export process.
