Abstract (Translated): 
The purpose of this article is to explore the relationship that exists between a group of important logistics processes of Colombian micro, small and medium-sized manufacturing companies (MSMEs). Through a reduced number of factors, the vision of the analyzes carried out on this type of companies is simplified both from practice and from literature. For this, a methodology based on multivariate statistical analysis is used. The use of element analysis allows to have a general and descriptive vision of the business logistics processes. The exploratory factor analysis, for its part, allows obtaining a set of factors that better explain the processes, while a confirmatory factor analysis allows corroborating the validity of these factors in a sample of MSMEs.The main findings consider four main factors that best represent and relate the logistics and logistics impact processes considered for MSMEs with a high level of statistical validity. This research considers a limited number of manufacturing companies and assumes that the processes that were taken into account represent the logistics of a company, according to the literature. Finally, the simplification, through statistical analysis, of the logistics problems of manufacturing MSMEs in emerging markets is presented as the main contribution of this article.
