Solving the case of a Mexican construction company using optimization models and methods

Abstract: It is common in the Mexican industry glimpse areas of opportunity in the prospective dynamics of the business, construction companies are not outside this vision. How will urban sprawl grow? How to optimize the cost of developing urban subdivisions? Where to locate the materials warehouses? Etc. These are some of the questions construction companies are asking. This talk will discuss how some of these questions can be mathematically modeled in the quest to find efficient answers.
