All 14 Documented Cases
Sobrecusto por Atrasos em Componentes de Longo Prazo de Entrega
Estimated: 2-8% of COGS annually; typical 200-300 machinery unit manufacturer = R$ 400,000-1,200,000/year in excess expediting, overtime, and storage costs. Manual demand forecasting delays = 40-60 hours/month admin overhead.Long lead time components (180+ days[1]) require advance planning via blanket orders or inventory hold arrangements[1]. When demand forecasting is manual or inaccurate, manufacturers either: (a) under-order and face production delays, or (b) over-order and pay holding costs[3]. Brazilian context adds tariff volatility[8] and rising input costs[6]. Expedited procurement from stocking distributors costs 10-30% premium vs. standard sourcing[1].
Decisões de Compra Inadequadas por Falta de Previsão de Demanda Precisa
R$942,676.38 documented annual loss from poor forecast selection; estimated 20–35% cost premium on rush/expedited freight (typical Brazil logistics markup); average 40–60 hours/month of manual reorder point recalculation in mid-sized OEM operationsThe Brazilian mining company case study applied three forecasting methods (Simple Moving Average, Weighted Average, Exponential Moving Average) and calculated Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) forecast error to validate which model reduced unnecessary spending. Result: R$942,676.38 annual spend without method vs. lower spend with correct method. Decision errors compound: wrong forecasts → wrong orders → rush expedites → inventory shrinkage → compliance/audit issues.
Multas eSocial por Não Conformidade em Dados de Pessoal
R$ 440.07–R$ 44,007.30 per incident; doubled for repeat violations. For a mid-sized manufacturer with 200+ employees, 1–2 eSocial failures annually = R$ 1,760–R$ 88,014 annual exposure.Non-compliance with eSocial deadlines results in immediate fines. Minimum penalty is R$ 440.07; however, penalties escalate to R$ 44,007.30 for systematic failures. Repeat offenses double the fine. For companies with large workforces (agriculture, construction, mining), a single ECO affecting 50+ workers' schedules can trigger fines across all five agencies (Ministry of Labor, INSS, workplace safety ministry, Receita Federal, federal savings bank) simultaneously.
Perda de Capacidade por Engarrafamento em Componentes de Longo Prazo
Estimated: 5-15% capacity loss = 200-600 idle machine units/year per manufacturer. Revenue loss at R$ 5,000-50,000/unit = R$ 1,000,000-30,000,000 annually depending on manufacturer size. Idle labor: 20-40 hours/week × 30-50 employees when line stops.Production lines stall when a single long-lead-time component fails to arrive on schedule[1][3]. Suppliers booking production 3-6 months ahead[1] means no flexibility. Brazilian sourcing adds transportation delays (port congestion, weather, customs clearance[3][4]). Manual tracking and lack of early warning systems mean production teams discover delays only after assembly begins.
