Logística Oportunidades y Estrategias para el desarrollo de una Red Logística Fronteriza Norte en Ecuador

Abstract

Many opportunities have been missed, such as taking advantage of available resources or making strategic investments in considerably less amounts than those arranged in crazy studies instead of promoting truly relevant projects,so this situation will continue to be a drag on our country and will keep us relegated from a leading role wich is accompanied by long-term benefits. If we do not take an accurate and timely turn towards a fixed north, by defining and implementing policies and enough resources in logistics, we will continue to be the buyers of services and openning ways for other countries to continue establishing the rules of the game, prices, conditions and restrictions within the area considered since three decades (and for the future) in the cornerstone and countries' survival factor: a strong Supply Chain structure. The so-called “Northern Border Logistics Network” in Ecuador, has the ideal characteristics to connect at least 3 continental regions in the southern hemisphere, becoming a real alternative to fully explore other commercial and tourist benefits of the region, also linking 4 countries in South America indeed. Let's analyze this case, from which interesting conclusions will be gotten.
