Diseño de un Modelo de Transporte Multimodal para la Cadena Frutícola Colombiana

Abstract

Trends in logistics research multimodality pose as a solution to sustainable transport due to its contribution in reducing time, cost and environmental impact on the flow of products. Colombia, seeks a multimodal integrated transport network. One of the most exported fruit is uchuva, mostly to Europe, for its exotic character, flavor and nutritional content; also the product that is imported into Colombia is the apple and that consumption has increased. Because of the importance of these products to the country and the latest trends in transport, multimodal transport incidence is evaluated in the logistics chain performance of these fruits, by a method based on system dynamics model. The model, designed in ithink provides for the setting fruit supply chain in Colombia, elements of perishable goods, logistics and environmental aspects.
