Abstract
This study presents a proposal to design a resilient supply chain for a company in the fuel sector in Mexico. The constant variation in the geographic location and order quantities of the demand points increases the operating and distribution costs of the supply network. For this reason, the use of a dynamic simulation-optimization technique using specialized software is proposed to test various network configuration proposals. The location of a new distribution center and a vehicle routing proposal are analyzed to optimize fuel distribution. © Springer Nature
