Abstract

Due to the increase in demand for medical oxygen, there is a need to improve the oxygen home delivery service. In this project, we will work with the data of a company specialized in the management of medicinal gases, which has a group of patients who receive medicinal oxygen through cylinders. The goal is to develop a tool that automates the assignment of the optimal distribution center to each patient’s zip code, taking into account the distance, supply capacity, and delivery time.
