The optimization of costs and the increase of benefits acquired by the logistical process are given from the identification and exploitation of trade-offs of logistics costs. In this sense, this paper aims to present, through the bibliometric study methodology, the evolution and the main practices used in the management of these costs in organizations through the evaluation of trade-offs in logistics processes. For the study, sixty-four scientific articles were collected, including articles published in the period from 2006 to 2016 in periodicals classified by the Qualis 2014 and ranked between A1 and B2, available on the Sucupira Platform. The collected articles were searched in the areas of Engineering III, of which the Production Engineering is part, and in the Applied Social Sciences area, in which the logistical costs theme is also widely approached. The research was carried out in three stages: data collection, analysis and synthesis. The results revealed that the area of Operational Research leads as the employed science by using descriptive and stochastic methods. As a restrictive aspect, it was evident the difficulty in direct applications to logistics costs in trade-offs, which characterizes a study gap with regard to the integration between logistics and accounting.
