Aplicación de modelos de transporte para minimizar costos de distribución de gasolina desde las refinerías esmeraldas, shushufindi y la libertad

Abstract

This work aims to minimize the costs of distributing gasoline from the Esmeraldas, Shushufindi and Libertad refineries in order to obtain the optimal distribution route, so transport models were used as the methodologies to be used since they allow us to quickly determine an optimal solution, the same ones that refineries can implement. Being the Minimum Cost method and Vogel method employees in research as these are mathematical processes allow us to obtain better results. We also analyzed the cost of moving gallons of gasoline and the distance to determine the most economical distribution route to the different areas, which resulted in the Vogel Method being the best of the methods used as a minimum cost of $243,000 was obtained compared to the Minimum Cost method that resulted in a cost of $298,000.
