Abstract

The logistic development induces the construction of distributioncenters that facilitate the product flow. This process leads to the building of whatis known as logistic platforms. This paper analyzes the possibility of developinga logistic platform in Juiz de Fora (MG) based on the main characteristics ofgoods transported between Minas Gerais state and Rio de Janeiro state byhighways and railways that pass along Juiz de Fora municipality. After verifyingthat there is a significant international and inter-regional trade flow and based onthe characteristics of the transported goods, it is possible to suggest that there isrole for a construction of a logistic platform at Juiz de Fora. This platform shalldeal with solid goods with high weight and low aggregated value.
