Modelo de Optimizacion aplicado a la agro-industria Colombiana: Plan logistico integrado para la exportacion de feijoa fresca

Abstract

Abstract. Optimization is a useful mathematical tool for decision making in di erent industrial sectors. In this work we propose a decision model based on linear programming that integrates in a structured way the links in the Colombian pineapple guava exportation chain, from the buying of the fruit to the set in the port of the imported country. The constructed models objective is to maximize the prot obtained in each link, subject to fruit production constraints, enrollment capacity, packaging and demand satisfaction during a planning period of twelve months. The search for the optimal solution was established with support from the software GAMS. The models outputs allow the denition of fresh fruit buying, packing and shipping in the international and national market.
