This requires the presentation of the main concepts in logistics applied to the process, the evaluation of the current management practices adopted, and the proposal of possible solutions to improve the company's current practices. A fundamental research is then carried out, through an exploratory and descriptive method, where by means of interviews and questionnaires applied within this company it was possible to understand this case study in more depth. In view of this, it is verified that a better understanding of the concepts applied in logistics management, a clear evaluation of how the processes work, and the proposal of solutions to problems encountered, impose the verification that the adoption of good management practices is fundamental for the improvement of the processes that are executed within a retail company.
