Summary
As merchants in expanding your business, we must choose the correct
transport mode for our products. To carry out this operation, it is Subject
matter
necessary to choose the right means of transport for our merchandise,
since this represents the most important costs, we must study with
more options.
There are four possible transport routes: to consider aspects such as
speed, safety, cost and the type of merchandise we are going to
Methods of
transport:
analysis
- Road: offers loading and unloading facilities, freedom of time,
simplicity and speed in hiring. It is important to consider the times, the
distances of the means, the weight and the length, the truck must not
be more than 16.5m (54 feet) long, 2.55m (8'4 ") wide and 44 tons,
including the fuel and the truck, it has an average safety level and it is
the means of transport with the highest safety index, it has the lowest
costs of all.
Findings

-Transport by train: it is not very effective when making shipments with

urgency, at least in Europe, where rail freight transport occupies only
10%. It is a very safe means of transport. It has very high fixed costs

-Boat transportation: it is not among the most effective at the time of

due to its large volume, the large quantities and distances it travels and
the speed it sails. It is characterized by having a high security High
fixed costs son
-Air transport: it is considered the most effective regarding the speed in
the means and distances distances with lower accident rate. It has
strong advances in telecommunications that ensure its safety, fixed
costs and high costs of low-cost variables, quite similar to that of
maritime transport.

It is necessary to know how much capacity can transport each means

of transport to know what it is that we need to do the operation. Conclusions
Thus, as a conclusion on the aspect of speed in the means of transport,
we can stand out as the most efficient land transport, for its ability to
carry out the goods from door to door. However, for distances close to
the most efficient means of transport on the plane, due to its speed
when traveling through large spaces.
