Abstract

Logistics is a set of processes that involve the entire supply chain and that make it possible to optimize the flow and storage of materials. Furthermore, it allows adding value to the product and if done efficiently and strategically, it becomes a differentiator for companies. The study aimed to collect data from the logistics area and understand how it works and the difficulties faced in food industries. Methodologically, the field of multidisciplinary knowledge was used, of the applied type, cross-sectional study, the nature is qualitative and the method is qualitative of the descriptive-exploratory type. The instrument was formally authorized interviews, recorded and transcribed, carried out at the companies QG Jeitinho Caseiro and Noronha Alimentos, based on a semi-structured script. As a result, it was possible to verify that companies have common difficulties, such as difficulty in integrating logistics systems and exchanging information between participants in the logistics chain. Finally, it is suggested to adopt the Strategic Integration system through supply chain management as a way to resolve various challenges, among other possible solutions to the difficulties faced.
