DESARROLLO DE LA EVIDENCIA

Title.
The international physical distribution
Introduction.

The physical distribution is intended to discover the most satisfactory solution to bring the right
amount of the 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 deposits or terminals and indirect channels used.
In summary, the international physical distribution seeks to determine: the right product, the right
client, the right time and the right place.

o Main points.

Traffic and transport, international physical distribution, storage and warehousing, production
planning, customer service levels.

o Conclusion.

2. The essay should answer the question: What are the advantages of reducing logistics and
transport costs in International Physical Distribution and the disadvantages of high costs in it?
The writing must contain a minimum of 500 words.

3. Research at least one literature source on this topic and cite it in your essay.

4. To write the essay you must use the tenses correctly and contain the grammatical structures
and vocabulary according to the topic you are dealing with, for this you can consult an online
dictionary of your choice, if you consider it necessary.
The International Physical Distribution, known by its acronym DFI, is the process that takes
place around placing a product in the international market, complying with the terms negotiated
between the seller and the buyer. Its main objective is to reduce to the maximum 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.

When asked what are the advantages of reducing logistics and transport costs in the international
physical distribution and the disadvantages of high costs in it? We can infer that what can not be
measured can not be controlled and what can not be controlled can not be managed.
Operators are important actors for the logistics industry, in general terms they are defined as the
companies that support the transport and handling of the cargo from the point of departure at
origin to the destination delivery point.
We could talk about that if the costs were reduced, as an advantage we would save a good
amount of money in the logistics and transport in front of the products of our company, from
there to put it more simply, we would be taking it to an economic and operational imbalance on
the reason for being of it, it would be more serious the cure than the disease because we could not
afford to lower our level, therefore this counts as a disadvantage, as well as the lack of credibility
of our services as a reference on other principals, this implies that, we would not be occupied as
operators and logistics agents and our name would be targeted and would be pointed out to
society as a regular service, not to say dismal.
The advantages we could obtain would be very significant with clear and defined policies,
because the idea of optimizing logistics operations would make the shipment for the
transportation of X product the most appropriate, in the required amount, in the agreed place and
at the lowest cost.

This website http://distribucionfisicainternacional-ujtl.blogspot.com/ states that "All the

necessary activities could be planned and coordinated to achieve the desired levels of service and
quality at the lowest possible cost"
The need to use excellent logistic operators is clear, because they optimize the company's
performance, reduce costs and improve the quality of the processes in a variable logistic cost,
decrease the loss of products and generate access to technology.
All the necessary activities could be planned and coordinated to achieve the desired levels of
service and quality at the lowest possible cost, with the result that the mission of international
logistics is to design agile, flexible and simple processes to generate a competitive advantage,
differentiating the company and that it is the customer's first option.
To conclude we are called in our logistics companies to provide a good activity, as can be
expected, the mission of international logistics is to design agile, flexible and simple processes to
generate a competitive advantage over other companies and that it is the first option of the client
against the others that are advertised individually.

Conclusion
Establishing a good DFI, can reduce costs and risks of the goods and if it did not exist in
international trade, we could not have the products that come from other countries and could not
export because there would be how to distribute and transport them.
A dynamic and growing environment will require complementary systems that relate to
Majority and minority producers and exporters, companies will be increasingly complex and they
must have staff prepared to direct the flow of products and services from the producer to the
consumer or user.
