Cost optimization model in the supply chain in assembly companies.

The costs related to the acquisition of products is a very important competitiveness factor for assembly companies, due to their massive acquisition nature of raw material, it is complex to predict the optimal combination to make an order mix looking for the decrease in costs. This cost effect is additionally replicated in the distribution of finished product since due to the unstable nature of the demand it is an investigation opportunity to analyze, evaluate and propose new management systems that seek the decrease in costs. In this panorama the main objective of this research is to find a programmable methodology in a computational manner that manages the supply and its distribution optimally guaranteeing the reduction of related costs. For this, the analysis of cases in assembly companies selected in the Model Model for the Optimization of Processes and Costs in the assembly industry "being a complement to the ways of achieving a broader model that encompasses a global panorama of the industry in assembly is carried out as a methodology.
