The importance of the costs of the logistics system in the global market

Introduction

To being with, we must take into account that logistics and international physical
distribution are key in foreign trade operations, given that logistics is key to achieving
maximum efficiency and effectiveness, wich can be summarized as follows: Efficiency
because the less time a product remains in each of the stages of a logistics chain, the
lower costs will be added to the final value of the product and the market will be supplied
more quickly and effectively because in most cases, lower costs can be translated into
higher operational profits. For this reason, there are two factors that determine the
operation and that we must analyze: Time and costs, therefore, the time factor must be
considered as a determining factor in the reduction of costs.

Today to achieve this goal, we must consider one of the factors that influence the
increase in transportation depends, which tends to rise and thereby affect operational
costs: the price of oil, since it mainly affects the fuel (Diesel) on which most
transportation depends, which tends to rise and thereby affect operational costs.

On the other hand, the lack of investment in transport infrastructure affects negatively,
therefore, this way limits the supply chain of products at a global level, thereby
generating a rise in the final process of each product.

Clearly the international physical distribution, being this the process of export of
products and/or service that has as main objective to reduce to the maximum the risks,
times, and costs from the origin like point of departure until the destiny like final point.
 In other words, any failure in one of the stages of a product can suspend the distribution
system that affects international trade.

As for the positive aspects that benefit the companies besides creating strategies to
counteract the distances and to be able to carry out their activities as close as possible to
the final market, we see that the companies are modifying the way in which they pack
their products in such a way that these occupy less space and weight so that all the costs
as well as of transport are reduced.

To conclude in the companies there are basic system that facilitate their smooth
operation, one of them is the logistics system related to the flow of materials from
suppliers to end users and whose establishment requires an exhaustive analysis and study
to achieve that the company has a fully integrated logistics element, so that it can fulfill
the mission that is incumbent on it and consists of a system that executes customer
service policies at the lowest possible cost.

This is how issues such as the transport of goods from their preparation, handling,
preparation of documents, especially when there are high operational costs, international
standards of managements as well as environmental and multiple options in modes and
means of transport that make companies mark more and more comparative advantages
that allow them not only to survive in our markets but to grow steadily with competitive
advantages, thus contributing to the achievement of the objectives outlined in the
country’s economic policy.

Hoy para lograr este objetivo, debemos considerar uno de los factores que inciden en el aumento de
la dependencia del transporte, que tiende a subir y con ello repercute en los costos de operación: el
precio del petróleo, ya que afecta principalmente al combustible (Diesel) del que depende la mayor
parte del transporte., que tiende a aumentar y, por lo tanto, afecta los costos operativos.
En cuanto a los aspectos positivos que benefician a las empresas además de crear estrategias para
contrarrestar las distancias y poder realizar sus actividades lo más cerca posible del mercado final,
vemos que las empresas están modificando la forma en que envasan sus productos. de tal forma que
estos ocupan menos espacio y peso por lo que se reducen todos los costes, así como de transporte.
