The present paper is based on the “Creation of a simulation model for the distribution of imported merchandise in the Retail Industry in Lima, Perú. It was incentivized on the fact that, actually, in Perú, the logistic cost of importation has a negative impact on the retail companies. This leads to the decrease of the optimum level of competitivity and efficacy in the logistic process. The general objective of this investigation, is to develop a distribution model which allows to reduce the merchandise transfer costs from the aerial warehouse to the point of sale assigned by the company. Through the investigation based on books, articles and web pages related to the subject of the present paper, it was able to develop the foundation for the elaboration of this thesis. It also allowed us to obtain a deeper knowledge on the definition of decision variables, systems simulation and optimization models. With all this information, we proceeded to collect the sample data of one of the most worldwide recognized companies of the retail sector. This company also has an important market participation at a local level. Therefore, we started the simulations taking as a starting point, the arrival of the merchandise to the aerial warehouse. And, as a final point, we took the dispatch of the merchandise to each point of sale assigned. As the investigation began to take shape, we started to formulate an optimization model which allowed us to reach the defined objectives. Finally, we obtained conclusions in regard of the investigation and we established recommendations which contribute to the effectivity of the proposed model. In this process, we always considered the possible improvements that could arise in the future.
