Abstract
GUERRERO SALAS, Humberto. Location of a logistics operator for several periods of a planning horizon via linear programming. Tecnura [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.74, pp.165-189. Epub Sep 24, 2022. ISSN 0123-921X. https://doi.org/10.14483/22487638.19290.
Context:
The location of logistics operators can become a competitive advantage for organizations as it guarantees their effective response to changes in society.
Method:
This paper presents the formulation of the linear programming model for the location of a logistics operator in each of the periods of a planning horizon.
Results:
Compliance with the location of the logistics operator with its respective restrictions at a minimum cost is guaranteed; in addition, to preserve the clear functions of dynamic programming throughout the planning horizon.
Conclusions:
Linear programming is an operations research technique widely used in all business fields; for which in this application it is used to guarantee the location of the logistics operator from one period to another with the sole causation of the necessary costs that guarantee a minimum total for it. This can be visualized based on the specific data used.
Keywords : logistics; logistic operator; linear programming.
