Design of a model for the optimal distribution of fertilizers by an organization, including transport, stowage and unstowage operations

Abstract

Global competitiveness causes organizations to operate and manage their resources more effectively. One of the competitive advantages that organizations have is based on the design of their logistics network, given that many of these have problems with the mobility of their merchandise, for this reason transport logistics aims to meet the needs and requirements of product mobility in the shortest possible time and at the minimum cost, for this, optimal supply strategies must be determined, in order to use optimal distribution channels. Therefore, the techniques that will be used in this study are based on mathematical programming, mainly linear programming and mixed whole programming.

Keywords: Mathematical Programming, Linear Programming, Mixed Whole Programming, Minimum Cost, Transportation
