The MinTraq readiness lens for Ultrapar
MinTraq measures readiness in four areas. Here is how each one applies at Ultrapar.
Connect your technical or commercial skills to the relevant business: fuel retail and distribution at Ipiranga, liquefied petroleum gas at Ultragaz or terminal operations at Ultracargo.
Prepare to weigh continuity of supply, customer commitments and safe handling when plans change; make your reasoning clear rather than treating speed as the only goal.
For leadership roles, consider how to set consistent standards while allowing teams in different businesses to respond to their own customers and operating conditions.
AI readiness is most useful when tied to a specific task, such as anticipating demand, planning distribution or identifying exceptions in operational data; explain how you would check the output before acting.
