 DESARROLLO

The document highlights the importance of logistics by means of transport,

since in any locality there are processes of commercialization, purchase and
sale of products and for this whole process transport is necessary, and it must
be ensured that the transport is adequate for cargo and in the shortest time and
lowest costs, for this there is a dialogue between exporters and importers
throughout the negotiation, and have technology in the transit time of the
merchandise.
One of the most important recommendations that the text does not refer to is
the balance, time vs budget, this occurs knowing the distances, for example,
currently with the pandemic worldwide, vaccines are being mobilized which
must be transported by plane for your specific requirements. and they must be
delivered in the shortest time possible, if it were by ship the time could be
weeks or months and in this case it is not convenient, this is given by the
urgency of the current moment and that it is a transport of biologicals. that must
reach special temperatures in refrigerators.
To choose the ideal mode of transport for your products, it is necessary to know
the size, packaging and speed with which it must reach its destination, and the
advantages and disadvantages of each freight option. The different types of
transport: land is the most common within countries and the most economical,
and the one that reaches many parts of the world that cannot be accessed by
other means of transport, and also transports different types of cargo which
makes it flexible. In more industrialized countries, rail transport is used, it is fast,
but much more expensive than land transport, by plane it is the fastest means
of transport but the most expensive, for large quantities and that are needed
over time for a long time It is the movement by container ship, at lower costs.
Throughout the process, you must also have the flexibility of the times in the
countries in case of customs setbacks and also of the merchandise so as not to
suffer economic losses that sometimes occur due to poorly calculated logistics
and loss of merchandise.
