Gestão patrimonial no setor público : análise do controle de Bens Móveis na Superintendência Estadual do Ministério da Saúde em Sergipe

Abstract

This research aimed to propose strategies for improving the management of movable assets at the State Superintendence of the Ministry of Health in Sergipe (SEMS/SE), based on a critical analysis of institutional practices observed in loco and a systematic review of the literature on public administration, asset control, and digital governance. It is an applied research study, with a qualitative approach, exploratory character, and deductive method. The methodological procedures included bibliographic, documentary, and observational analysis, grounded in the technique of participant observation. The findings revealed significant structural and operational deficiencies, notably: the absence of an up-to-date physical inventory; lack of coordination between sectors responsible for asset custody and control; insufficient ongoing technical training for staff; and a general unawareness of current regulations. The study also identified the obsolescence of asset management systems, compromising the reliability of data and traceability of public assets. Based on empirical analysis of 1,332 movable assets recorded in the system, the research proposes, as a practical contribution, the adoption of the Integrated Administration and Services System (SIADS), the standardization of operational procedures through internal manuals, regular training for staff, and the implementation of automated identification technologies such as QR Codes or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to optimize physical inventory processes. It is concluded that asset management, when treated as a strategic axis of public administration, enhances institutional governance, administrative transparency, and the effective allocation of public resources.
