Item Diagnóstico del proceso de planeación para la asignación de rutas urbanas de un operador logístico de la ciudad de Cali con flota subcontratada de capacidad limitada(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2017) Montaño Zuñiga, Lina Marcela; Valencia Prado, John Jairo; Londoño Ortega, Julio CesarThe competitive environment in which companies are currently developing and specifically in the city of Cali, requires that operations be carried out with planning, enable the best use of resources and that it be maintained as a solid support for commercial activity, In this way, the interaction of both factors enhance the profitability and growth of companies. According to Parra-Ortega (2010), in the field of logistics, transport is a substantial component in the supply chain, since it represents the component with the highest proportional cost, therefore it implies having adequate planning in its operations . The problem that is addressed in the case study is related to the recurrent breach of its cost and service objectives in the distribution of the company that provides the transport service by subcontracted fleet. This breach is relevant given the business environment in which the company operates, where there are different scenarios such as the starting conditions that you want to transport with the minimum cost, shipments to their respective destinations using all the necessary vehicles (vehicles which can belong to different typologies, each of them with different characteristics in terms of weight and maximum capacities and with variable costs - depending on the number of km traveled and different hiring). For which competitiveness is very important especially at the level of customers, suppliers and transporters, forcing them to optimize their planning processes for the allocation of routes.
