Having as reference the beverage sector in Paraíba, a market that, with an increasing development, there is a need for a well developed and managed logistic system to be able to attend to the great volume requested and the attended geographic area. At this present study, the object of study is the logistic system of a great national company of beverage that attends to the local market by a distribution center, the 'CDD Campina Grande'. Due to its importance in the distribution of the company's products, the focus of this research was to describe how the logistic activities from the beverage distribution center for the attendance of the market of Campina Grande work, using as support the approach of SINCHI (2003) and the approach of LEITE (2003) about reverse logistic. Such an objective reveals the exploratory character of the research and its delimitation as a case study. Based on a research guide built for this end, data that enabled the analysis of this logistic system operation was collected.
