Abstract: This article describes a robust design for a milk storage and refrigeration logistics system for a dairy cooperative located in the Ubaté region of Colombia using a binary programming model. Such design included cooling tank location, assigning producers to the tanks and calculating system capacity. This research was aimed at identifying the most robust and cost-efficient configuration (given the design's parameters).
