ABSTRACT
As a result of a wide variety of risks, diverse in scale, complexity, and consequences, countries must generate various strategies through which they can face them, protecting the population, the ecosystem, and the economy. The objective of the document to be presented is to help health organizations in decision-making in logistical aspects, specifically, in the location of facilities and distribution of supplies. Thiswork proposes a logistic model that allows the location of a feasible municipality through the integration of the classic p-median problem and the Multiple Vehicle Routing Problem (MVRP). The goal is to determine a feasible location to establish a warehouse and the routes to supply Personal protection supplements for the health sector personnel to municipalities that host hospitals of different public institutions with COVID-19 patients. The model is evaluated in one of the states belonging to Mexico, making a typification of its municipalities. The results are obtained in four scenarios, showing both the host municipalities and the delivery routes. The results showed the municipalities of Cuitláhuac, Huiloapan de Cuauhtémoc, Huatusco, and Tlalixcoyan as feasible locations for the warehouse. From the information provided and through the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), new delivery routes are established, showing a comparison of results. The total of established routes for delivery is seven. Due to the characteristics of the content, this research falls into the classification of case studies. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
