Description
Summary:The objective was to show an analysis made ​​in the state of Tocantins to determine optimal points for the implementation of biodiesel plants. For this analysis were considered variables such as transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling among others, to achieve a satisfactory outcome for new ventures. We know that today to get a good result, businesses have to focus on a rigorous analysis of the logistics chain, which are designed to make available products and services in the location where needed, when they are wanted at the lowest possible cost. To obtain the results presented here we used the mathematical model - Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) - technique and retrospective scenarios.
