Innovation processes in the logistics chain of maritime transport in Colombia

Abstract

This article analyzes the operational performance in the logistics chain of maritime transport in Colombia. The research in this article is based on the current situation, the different shortcomings it has and the approach of indicators that allow us to observe differences of interests that exist in decisionmaking between managers and shareholders of an organization which will help improve the innovation process and which in turn leads to the implementation of new programs. In the introduction to this article we talk about the history of Colombia in the logistics process and the economic impact on the country. Let us remember that the maritime fleet is used more than air transport because freight is cheaper, not to mention that the volumes that are handled are higher and the possibility of handling two modalities - consolidated cargo, which means a container with several types of merchandise and will only be charged per ton per cubic meter or the handling of a complete container, which makes this more interesting transport.
