 THE IMPORTANCE OF THE COSTS OF THE LOGISTICS SYSTEM IN THE
GLOBAL MARKET

INTRODUCTION

Starting with this essay, we must always keep in mind that logistics and
international physical distribution are necessary and key in foreign trade
operations, bearing in mind that logistics is key and essential to achieve efficiency
and effectiveness, which can be abbreviate in:

1. Efficiency because the less time a product spends 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 translate into higher operating profits. For this reason there are two
factors that condition the operation and that we must analyze: Time and costs,
therefore, the time factor must be considered as a determining factor in cost
reduction.

To achieve this objective, one of the factors that influence the progress of transport
must be taken into account, which ends up rising and thus affects operating costs:
the price of oil, since it mainly affects fuel (Diesel) from which they feed. most of it
depends on transportation, which tends to increase, thus affecting operating costs.

On the other hand, the lack of investment in transportation infrastructure has a

negative effect, thus limiting the supply chain of products worldwide, thereby
generating an increase in the final process of each product.

Clearly international physical distribution, this being the process of exporting

products and/or services whose main objective is to minimize risks, times and
costs from the origin as the starting point to the destination as the end point.

Any failure in one of the stages of a product can suspend the distribution system
that affects international trade.

Regarding the positive aspects that benefit companies, in addition to creating

strategies to counteract distances and be able to carry out their activities as close
as possible to the final market, we see that companies are modifying the way they
package their products in such a way that These take up less space and weight, so
all costs are reduced, as well as transport costs.

Finally, in companies there are systems that facilitate their proper functioning, one
of them is the logistics system related to the flow of materials from suppliers to end
users and whose establishment requires impeccable analysis and study to ensure
that the company has with an integrated logistics element, so that it can fulfill the
mission that corresponds to it and consists of a system that executes customer
service policies at the lowest possible cost.
It is how issues such as the transport of goods are addressed from their
preparation, handling, preparation of documents, especially when there are high
operating costs, international management standards as well as environmental
ones 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 also to grow steadily with competitive advantages, thus
contributing to the achievement of the objectives outlined in our country's economic
policy.
