INTRODUCTION

The international physical distribution is transformed into a correct flow of materials and information, taking into account that the flow of materials requires a prior preparation of all the necessary activities to achieve that the product arrives in optimal conditions at its international destination and the flow of information requires the company to carry out its logistic projection, in accordance with the needs and trends of demand in the global framework.

The International Physical Distribution can contribute to this purpose by offering the precise means in the growth of markets and continuous improvement of the competitiveness of the products.

INTERNATIONAL PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION

CONCEPTS:

a) The International Physical Distribution, known by its acronym DFI, is the logistic 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.

b) The international physical distribution is the logistic process that takes place around placing a product in the international market complying with the terms negotiated between the seller and the buyer. (Orlando, J., 1997).

c) It is a set of operations necessary to achieve the displacement of the cargo (product), from its place of origin, to the place where the importer requires it in the country of destination, for the fulfillment of the period just in time.

Purpose

Its purpose is 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.

Stages in the international physical distribution The type and nature of the load is established.

Types of load

The cargo is a set of goods or merchandise protected by an appropriate packaging that facilitates its rapid mobilization.

1. General Load It is composed of individual items and can be:

a. Load Loose

b. Unitarized Load

1. Bulk Loading By its nature it can be:

1. Liquid
2. solid
3. seca

Nature of the load

The nature of the cargo is classified into four types, namely:

Perishable load. Consists generally in food products that undergo normal degradation in their physical,chemical and microbiological characteristics.

Fragile load. Refers to all merchandise that due to its characteristics could suffer damage in loading and unloading, movement in the transport vehicle and storage.

Dangerous load. This type of load is composed of products that have explosive, combustible, oxidizing, poisonous, radioactive or corrosive characteristics that can cause accidents, damage to others such as the vehicle in which they are moving, to people or to the environment.

Load dimensions and special weights. This kind of load is usually very bulky and heavy requiring special handling and presenting restrictions in the different means of transport.

SCOPE OF INTERNATIONAL PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION

International Physical Distribution is the set of operations designed to move the cargo (product) from the place of production or manufacturing in the country of origin to the importer's premises in the country of destination, which implies a process called CHAIN THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION, with a duration called TIME OF TRANSIT, which implies costs, time and quality of the services, for the fulfillment of the order JUST IN TIME. From the above we can deduce that the DFI comprises three basic parameters Cost, time and quality and services.
