Modelo de programación lineal multiobjetivo para la logística interna enfocado a la optimización de la producción y maximización de las ganancias de las MIPYMES textiles en el cantón Cuenca.

Abstract

In recent years, studies dedicated to obtaining optimization models have been published, many of which have been applied in the textile sector. According to the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses of Ecuador, this sector is part of the economic development areas of a country, being one of the main sources of employment. Therefore, this need arises to review the state of the art that has been published on optimization models, starting with the selection of research questions, digital databases and search terms to later apply practical and methodological filters, which allow us make a systematic review of the results obtained on the optimization models. In this way, a complete summary of the areas that are being optimized and the methods used to solve the problems in the textile sector is compiled. All this because textile companies seek to increase production levels by maximizing available resources; and improve projections income over time. For this, it is essential to manage the products to be manufactured based on their raw material resources and time availability. This work proposes to improve decision-making in the planning of textile production by applying a multi-objective linear optimization model to internal logistics within Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) of the Ecuadorian textile sector. The application of this optimization model results in a balanced production plan between the objectives related to profit maximization and the use of the time available for production. It also includes the description of a case study, the definition of the optimization model that is executed using the Gurobi solver. The results of the application of the optimization model are also presented with the data provided by the case study and the discussion of the results through a sensitivity analysis.
