Resumen
The objective of this study is to optimize the allocation of storage positions in a cold storage facility for meat products, guaranteeing compliance with the cold chain and improving logistical efficiency. To this end, a mathematical optimization model was designed and applied that strategically assigns storage locations based on inventory turnover and product accessibility. Different configurations were evaluated based on space utilization criteria, access times, and operating costs. Based on the analyzed data, the findings indicate a significant improvement in storage efficiency, with utilization reaching 71.87% in U1, U2, U3, and UE units and 75% in C1 and C2 units. In addition, the new distribution minimized handling times and reduced the risk of product spoilage. Based on these findings, it is demonstrated that optimizing cold storage distribution not only improves inventory management and operational logistics but also contributes to system sustainability by reducing waste and costs associated with inefficient handling of perishable products. © 2025 by the authors.
