Abstract

Natural disasters have caused not only economic but also human losses. These events bring with them, among other things, deficiencies in the supply of food, clothing, health and cleaning products, to name a few. This situation makes it imperative to locate facilities that can supply the needs, as mentioned earlier, to the victims in the shortest possible time. This document presents the evaluation of a logistic model of the literature whose foundations are: a) the classic p-median problem for the location of a pre-positioning warehouse; b) an extension of the (q-R) model for calculating inventories of different products, according to different types of demand, and c) the problem of multiple vehicles routing with the capacity to establish delivery routes from warehouses to the affected municipalities. This model is evaluated with 90 municipalities belonging to Veracruz, Mex. The results show that the location of the warehouse falls in the municipality of Fortín de las Flores, the inventory levels for five demands and four product kits, and product delivery routes, which are a total of 12, with which a favorable cost minimization is obtained.
