Abstract

One of the most important applications of operations research is mathematical programming; this model attempts to consider the best way to allocate resources to competing activities. In the world of projects and feasibility analysis, one of the problems that often arise is to know where to locate and deploy a project in the best operating conditions and with an optimum use of resources and services, whether in the perspective of minimizing costs or maximizing profits. This article attempts to show the application of mathematical programming to the location of projects, in particular it comes to using algorithms such as linear programming, integer binary programming and transport model.
