The objective of this case study was to identify and analyze the supply chain of yogurt, a dairy product that has great health benefits due to its nutritional components, thus relating the main logistical processes involved, likewise implying the recognition of the variables in a supply network together with their relationship with respect to quality, cost, time, flexibility for the optimization of decisions in transportation and distribution systems, based on the design of location models and routing of vehicles with capacity. The methodology used was investigative and analytical, therefore, the search for relevant information was carried out to determine the links and logistic processes that make the implementation of the product supply chain possible, then starting from the calculation of the dimensions, weight of the product, packaging box and laying, the euro pallet was selected, in addition, a group of warehouses and clients in Barranquilla was considered together with travel times, later with the characteristics of unit load and vehicle capacity, demand and costs, a location model with capacity. To then formulate a CVRP model, thus obtaining a route that visits all customers, supplies the demand and minimizes the distance.
