Evidencia 1: Writing and essay about logistics costs
International physical distribution as a method by which two agents, Buyer and Seller,
reaching an agreement to market a certain product internationally taking into account and
complying with each of the requirements demanded by law, and managing the best effort to
reduce time, costs and other expenses to get the product to its destination, to do so by
implementing a Chain in which suppliers, carriers, customers, etc. participate It is also
taken into account that within the international physical distribution includes all factors
such as package and containers, which must also meet the requirements according to the
environment in which they must be transported, either by air, sea or land. With this we can
ask ourselves Advantages and disadvantages of making this international physical
distribution.
Business competitiveness ensures the survival of companies in the long-term market, in all
segments to which they want to access with products, in the local and international context.
One of the strategies to achieve this competitiveness is the successful planning of the
international physical distribution, in terms of costs and activities involved in the process,
taking into account that within the logistics chain they represent a representative
item. This planning will materialize in cost reduction, inventory optimization,
improvement in customer service levels, optimization of transportation routes and
adequate selection of means and modes of transport.
Currently technology has evolved and this leads all companies to be aware of what their
consumers need, this leads to logistics is constantly activated, and thus increase the
competitiveness of entities where the one that best satisfies the needs will prevail. of its
consumers at a lower cost and therefore a higher benefit. Thus mentioned (Yulieth,
Calderón, Sánchez and Lozano, 2013) in their Log entitled International Physical
Distribution: "Plan and coordinate all the necessary activities to achieve the desired levels
of service and quality at the lowest possible cost". Now, another advantage of this tool is
that each company has the possibility of choosing the means of transport that best suits
their needs to transport their product, analyzing which way to reduce more costs and have
greater efficiency. Products can reach their consumers in an effective way, achieving their
satisfaction and thus integrating new customers, which will bring benefits and the company
will be able to continue expanding its product in different parts of the world. Among the
disadvantages we have the high costs of transporting certain materials that by their nature
need more care. And those who, due to their delicacy, are more perishable, so they must
arrive at their destination in the shortest possible time. With this we also deduce the
negative consequence for an entity of having losses throughout the chain because it
generates more costs for the entire method and leads to losing a client. And while it is true
this international physical distribution brings with it expenses of all kinds, transportation,
packaging, documentation, permits and others, which in one way or another discourages the
exporter from making their sales since not all entities can generate resources to pay all the
expenses. Finally we can deduce that the International Physical Distribution must have an
excellent advance planning in which all the factors that this requires are taken into account,
and, carry out a thorough analysis of each one to be successful in the distribution, fulfilling
its main objective reducing costs by delivering quality products in the shortest possible
time. If this planning or analysis is not carried out in the best way, you will have difficulties
such as the loss of merchandise, additional manipulations, cost overruns, excess freight
charges and other costs that will increase. Everything is based on good planning.
