The study identifies the practices to logistics costs management adopted by a food industry company. This is a descriptive and exploratory study conducted in the last quarter of 2010 as a single case study. Data collection was performed by documentary research and semi- structured interviews with three company managers and an external consultant. The uses of the practices occur on the lower level that defines the literature, but there are actions, by investments in technology and in systems to increase the usage. Even so, there is more adherence than identified in other empirical studies analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
