Estudo da localização de abatedouros e centros de distribuição de agroindústrias de frangos de corte no Distrito Federal

Abstract

The work investigated the localization of an avian industry and optimized its net,from the corporatives to the consumers, determining the amount of slaughterhouses anddistribution centers that the concern should possess and their localization in order to minimizecosts. From the collection of real data and by utilizing tools of Geographic Information Systemsand binary linear programming, the optimum setting for the net as well the setting of severalalternative scenarios were determined. The objective function utilized minimizes the sum of thecosts of the slaughterhouse localization, the costs of the localization of the distribution center, theproduction costs and shipment of the living chickens from the corporatives to the slaughterhouse,the costs of slaughter and shipment as far as the distribution center and the storage costs in thedistribution center and shipment to the end clients. The optimum scenario obtained takes intoaccount only the establishment of a slaughterhouse and a distribution center of increased capacity,standing out scale gains. The results support the localization of slaughterhouses close tothe coporatives and distribution centers close to the clients submitted to the several restrictionsimposed by the local reality.
