Logistical barriers facing Colombia: the case of the company Schryver de Colombia

Abstract

Currently, the logistics sector in Colombia must be considered as a fundamental part of the country's growth and competitiveness compared to other countries to reduce time and costs, this process gives the goods of a country potential and a differentiator that makes it attractive to the market. But, in many respects, Colombia is failing in this sector and it is not being given the value and recognition it deserves. The objective is to show the shortcomings that Colombia has in terms of national and international logistics and supply chain, determining what their causes are and how much they affect producers, sellers, and the country's competitiveness. For this, the most recurrent problems will be taken into account, and from there, emphasis will be placed on one of these using the simulation method that can positively impact the traceability of the processes of Colombian importers and exporters in terms of time and costs.
