Abstract
The joint management of routing and inventories has become a field of particular importance for the academic community in recent years. However, there were no models identified in the literature review that contemplate the characteristics of the supply chain of fresh food. The authors of this paper propose an IRP (Inventory Routing Problem), multi-objective, multi-product and multi-echelon model of mixed linear programming which considers the shelf life of the food. The model is applied to the supply chain of perishable fruits. The two scenarios evaluated constitute the base for a strategy proposal to reduce costs, maximize the contribution margin and diminish the losses of fruit.
