Abstract

The main objective of this work was to analyze the Logistic Process of Distribution Transport of a company, in the field of agribusiness. This process is the key factor for reducing costs in the logistics sector. When managed correctly, it generates several benefits for the company, such as improving the level of service provided to customers and reducing logistical costs. From this, it is possible for companies to adopt measures so that these benefits are achieved and improved. Thus, this research is characterized as a case study, with a descriptive character and a qualitative approach. The main instrument for obtaining primary data was a semi-structured interview script, in addition to participant observation. For the analysis of the data obtained through the interview, a content analysis was performed. In this way, this research brought as a suggestion for the company under study, vehicle routing, which is a method where the best routes for vehicles are organized, aiming at reducing the paths traveled by them and consequently reducing costs. This process can help the logistics sector to reduce costs, organize processes and consequently optimize deliveries. Thus, it was possible to suggest to the company under study a routing method based on what it already develops, thus seeking to optimize its process.
