Introduction Strategically providing the logistics area with efficient, effective and competent resources, regardless of the institution, has come to be seen as a very important pillar so that they can carry out their activities in a sustainable way so that they reach their most varied objectives (Almeida, 2011). Logistics in the various sectors as a centerpiece of the company's strategy, over time, becomes a necessity rather than an option and must be applied and managed as a strategic weapon, as like any other industry in the efficient management and effective use of its resources is the most direct way that can exist to assure quality standards demanded by increasingly demanding customers (Carvalho et al, 2017). Through the work developed by Ballou (2004), Tseng, Yue and Taylor (2005) and Paura (2012) we have to realize that there are three basic activities of logistics: Order Processing (basic factor of identification of the need to be met) ; Maintenance of stock (Ensure that all materials identified as 'stockable' always have quantities in stock to meet existing orders) and Transport (whether internal or external should always be ensured so that the necessary goods can be allocated, where necessary correct time). These activities should always be carried out, as rigorously as possible, so that the logistics cycle itself will never be called into question and at the same time the normal operation of the services will not be jeopardized, and there will always be correct and updated information so that has to manage these processes as accurately as possible (Ballou, 2004, Tseng, Yue and Taylor, 2005 and Paura, 2012). Whatever the methodology from a logistics point of view, institutions should be concerned about how they communicate and how effective they are, since only secure, effective and immediately accessible information systems can circulate correctly, giving meaning to the purpose of the logistics chain, identify the need and satisfy it in the best possible way (Branco, 2013). The 4th industrial revolution seeks to challenge the logistic areas for a technological digitization and integration of large domain and tends to present a new operational, organizational and management paradigm, which will be denominated: logistics 4.0.
