A comparative analysis was undertaken using different sizes of companies, identifying differentiated standards of the business in relation to the size of the companies and the categories of products, under the approach of the logistic positioning. For this, from the model of transversal evaluation, a research of field of exploratory and descriptive character was carried out, considering two categories of products, in the different sizes of the companies, in an almost-random sample with repetition.
