| Summary: | This paper presents an implementation study of the
methodologies: Center of Gravity and AHP Model, with
the aim of suggesting the best location for a distribution

for a marketing company of industrial products in
Colombia.

has eight branches nationwide and it has no clear
policies about the handling of goods and even less clear

branches. |
