Corporative Trends in Urban Distribution of Goods in Mexico City

The Logistics processes in urban-metropolitan distribution are constantly changing, both technological support and technical implementation in the processes themselves and in the management of these. It is necessary to monitor the substantive changes outlined in the metropolitan urban-physical distribution of goods, because they contribute to a better competitive position of companies in the market, and also to a better development of city life. It is a professional scientific and technical task that contributes, by its impact on "benchmarking", the improvement of engineering practices in the professional community of executives in logistics and supply chains. Based on three extensive field research (Antun, JP; Lozano, A; Hernandez, R; Alarcon, R et al 2007; Antun, JP; Lozano, A; Magallanes, R; Alarcon, R; Granados, F 2009, Antun JP Alarcon R; 2014) on Logistics Distribution of Goods in Mexico City, this article presents and discusses major corporate trends on a set of key logistics processes, and bring examples from Case Studies.
