INTERNATIONAL PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES OF ITS COSTS

INTRODUCTION

Logistics is key to achieving maximum efficiency and effectiveness, which

theoretically can be summarized as follows: Efficiency because the less time a
product remains in each of the stages of a logistics chain, lower costs will be added
to the final value of the product and It will supply the market faster. Effectiveness
because lower expenses can translate into higher operating profits The International
Physical Distribution, known by its acronym DFI, is the logistic process that develops
around placing a product in the international market complying with the negotiated
terms between the seller and the buyer. Its main objective is to minimize the times,
costs and risk that may be generated during the journey, from the point of departure
at origin to the point of delivery at destination.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF REDUCING LOGISTICS AND

TRANSPORTATION COSTS IN THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICAL
DISTRIBUTION
In this sector there are a number of forces that impact both logistics and, more
generally, in the administration of supply networks (SCM), that is, in the set of
processes in which the Logistics.
Globalization, technology, organizational consolidation, consumer empowerment,
government policies or legal frameworks are some of the factors that directly affect
the logistics sector and contribute to creating some of its advantages and
disadvantages.
Starting from the fact that we are in a globalized market, we are going to see what
are the strengths of logistics at an international level, facing some of the
disadvantages of this sector.

• Use of the distribution network. An efficient logistics system benefits from a large
distribution network of logistics operators, allowing them to be more powerful
nationally and internationally.
•Cost reduction. Thanks to the globalized distribution systems and the
implementation of different distribution systems such as cross-docking (direct
distribution to the customer), transport costs can be reduced
• Efficient logistics management. A good logistics management and that is carried
out efficiently will improve the quality of the service and the satisfaction of the final
customers.
• Possibility of urgent transport. A large company dedicated to logistics transport
implements advanced systems, such as urgent transport. In this way, due to the
existence of a globalized world, orders and merchandise can arrive very quickly from
one country to another.
•Information technology. The new technologies implemented in the logistics sector
are an efficient response to current needs in the field of Supply Chain and the
generation of value-added services

An excellent management of the international physical distribution is the

materialization of a good negotiation

DISADVANTAGES OF HIGH COSTS IN THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICAL

DISTRIBUTION

• Coordination risks. When working in the logistics sector at an international level,

it must be taken into account that there may be coordination risks due to different
factors such as language, time zones, differences in working conditions or cultural
changes
• Difficult access for SMEs. The logistics sector is usually covered by large
companies that have stronger distribution chains, so the access of small and medium
enterprises to this field is quite difficult.
•Distance. The cost of transport of unit by product rises the greater the distance. In
this way, if you do not have strong distribution systems it is difficult to offer a
competitive price for a product that is at the other end of the planet.
•Legal framework. Legislation for the transport or import and export of goods is of
the utmost importance, since the internal laws and customs policy can stop the entry
or exit of a product.
All this would lead us to have disadvantages such as:

Increase in service costs

Misuse of available resources
Waste of comparative advantages
Misuse of compensation charges
Lack of transfer user-provider relationship
CONCLUSIONS
The Physical Distribution aims to discover the most satisfactory solution to bring the
right amount of product from its origin to the right place, in the necessary time and
at the minimum possible cost, compatible with the required service strategy. The
Physical Distribution system deals with everything related to the movement of the
product from the producer to the end user, including the stages corresponding to
regional or terminal deposits and / or indirect channels used.
