dc.description.abstract	El principal objetivo de esta tesis es identificar las principales características, fortalezas y debilidades del modelo de centro de gravedad (COG) utilizado para resolver The Facility Location Problem (FLP) y analizar si la agrupación de los consumidores por medio de closterizacion algorítmica, puede mejorar la solución dada por el modelo. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que el modelo COG puede ser usado como guía y no como una herramienta definitiva para la toma de decisiones, ya que debido a su simplicidad tiene fuertes debilidades. También se muestra que al utilizar modelos de closterizacion algorítmica los resultados del modelo pueden ser mejorados considerablemente. Para finalizar se realizan sugerencias para futuras investigaciones del modelo COG.	es_CO
