- Abstract
The article presents a study to reallocate an industrial unit of the auto parts sector located in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre in southern Brazil. The company supplies most automakers in Brazil and Argentina, with around 80% of the market share and 1,200 employees. Currently, it faces difficulties that restrict its operation with the growing urbanization process in the surroundings of its unit, such as questioning its operating hours and complications in receiving and draining its production. The process of studying the location of the alternative unit is divided into two parts. The first establishes the best location based on quantitative center of gravity method, following the orientation for costs of the company and the sector. In a second step, a qualitative study of the new location is realized, resorting to data such as population density to avoid that the present problems exposed above are repeated.
