Track: Logistics, Transport and Traffic Management

Abstract

An economy becomes competitive if it manages to optimize its logistics operations and to achieve a higher level of competitively is important to improve the foreign trade activities of a country. One of the most representative foreign trade activities of a country is the import activity, which ends up hindering the net gains if the adequate logistic optimization is not achieved. One way to address such optimization is through collaboration through game theory or fictional games. This article proposes a model to optimize and maximize profits of different players, taking into account the costs associated with the import of goods and scenarios with multiple suppliers eligible for the dispatch of the desired product. For this analysis, a hybrid algorithm composed of two parts is proposed, the first is responsible for determining the vendor and the international transactional conditions and the second is the solution of the fictional games. The results demonstrate that can be achieved economic benefits with the application of the model, on average the profits can be increased  22.2%, this was found after developing 100 problems with different parameters.
