	<span style="line-height:1.5;">In recent years, the search for better management of
the fleet and the reduction of logistic costs has been pursued incessantly by
the organizations. One of the alternatives found by Group X was to measure the
idleness of its vehicles in order to optimize the use and generate more value
for its assets. After perceiving that
the vehicles destined to the operating areas were not used every day, it was
decided to install RFID antennas in the entrances and exits of the main
courtyards to measure the idleness of the fleet. There was an opportunity to
reduce the fleet and better allocation of vehicles. But the model has some

has not proved ideal for the management of the group¡¯s fleet.</span>
