External logistics as a business activity allows managing resources efficiently by optimizing processes, reducing costs and increasing productivity. In its genesis logistics applied only to the military forces, now it is part of the business process, since it is used as an essential tool for the operation and management of products. Funza township is featured in Cundinamarca for its commercial dynamics, however, its particular external logistics process has not been studied, in order to dispose of the necessary data to improve the logistics process; therefore, in the first instance, a literature review was organized, followed by observations and key informant interviews with a representative population group, established by a sample distribution of the means and the selection of the units studied by the process of not proportional stratified sampling. This paper presents the most relevant results of the diagnostic research that highlights various data on the process of external logistics of the town of Funza. From these data, a model was accomplished that represents the external logistics process based on a simple linear regression and correlation tests model.
