Optimización de los costos operativos en el área de logística de las empresas exportadoras de la ciudad de Machala.

Abstract

The exporting companies play a fundamental role in the economy of a company, thus promoting international trade, which is so important for obtaining the resources of a nation. In this way, it is necessary to be competitive through organizational development where a fundamental part of achieving this is the logistic management of exporting companies that must have defined processes to optimize their resources. These companies need efficient controls to reduce their logistics costs, which tend to be the least efficient. The general objective of the research is to establish processes for the optimization of operational costs in the logistics area of exporting companies in the city of Machala. The specific objectives are: describe what are the operating costs of the logistics area, establish mechanisms to optimize the costs of the logistics area. Methodologically, descriptive research of the transversal type has been used, accessing bibliographic information from scientific journals, books, symposia, to optimize the logistic processes to which local exporters are exposed. The competitive advantage of the study is based on the fact that the logistic costs incurred by the exporting companies will be exposed, applying mechanisms or suggestions to optimize their operational costs, providing the company with greater economic benefits that suit their needs. Companies seek to be profitable for what they need to apply greater controls in their departments to reduce expenses that cause their operating costs to increase to their detriment.
