 Introduction

The design of a fulfillment center implementation involves multiple variables from

planning to execution and implementation.

In this activity we are going to plan the design of a distribution center, which allows
us to have a more direct relationship with our customers and suppliers, in it we will
use vocabulary and terminology related to storage and logistics.

Among the objectives set to develop the proposal is to design an organizational and
functional model of marketing and distribution of fruit companies of fresh fruits, in
which the processes are described strategic and operational requirements to
structure the model with the focus of business integration, specify the resources
required to implement the management and operations model and, propose the
administration and marketing and distribution operations.
 TARGET

Strengthen the knowledge of the English language in the logistics chain of a

product or service that is offered to the public.
 DEVELOPMENT OF THE TOPIC

DESCRIBING THE FUNCTIONS OF THE DISTRIBUTION CENTER

1. In a short paragraph, minimum 5 and maximum 10 lines describe

your training Project in English language. (Use the Present Simple
tense).

The training project selected by our work team is based in Novacampo. a company
that sells and produces export-type fruit, which focuses its largest operation on the
packaging and marketing of fresh cape gooseberry, with the main destination in the
European market; and the rest of its operation is based on the packaging and
conditioning of another 12 varieties such as (gulupa, granadilla, pitahaya, feijoa, fig,
lulo, passion fruit, tamarillo, mangosteen, curaba, soursop, pineapple). Likewise, we
have developed the line of dehydrated products mainly in Uchuva, Pineapple,
Pitahaya, Mango and Baby Banana.

2. Taking into account the Layout designed in the AA2 evidence: “Ev. 4
_ Describing the Distribution Center - Layout”, briefly explain using
the English language, the distribution system according to your
training project. (Use the grammar tense Simple present)

As an export company we have priorities and our distribution center is one of

them. Novacampo has the necessary means to distribute the different varieties
of fruit in an exceptionally short time and, furthermore, to do so in a particularly
efficient way, both from the point of view of resources and economic cost.

The distribution system to be used in our training project consists of making the
best decision about the channels, systems and types of distribution that will be
used to reach the largest number of customers possible. The company uses the
internal and external distribution system to achieve greater coverage and reach.
In Novacampo, its efficient logistics, in addition to guaranteeing direct supply to
its customers, allows them to guarantee the quality and safety of the exotic and
tropical fruit varieties that they send from Colombia to the world by air and sea.

3. Taking into account the glossary based on the Layout created in the
AA2: “Ev. 4_ Describing the Distribution Center - Layout”, describe
in a sentence in English the function of Each space or the logistics
activity that takes place in each of them. (Use different verbs
applying the third person rules (She / He / It) in Present Simple to
