Description
Summary:	This paper describes an algorithm for solving the microrouting problem when it is used modes like bicycle and motorcycle with different capacities and serving different routes which are associated to a set of customers and also considering time windows restrictions. From the research in the Palmira bread industry, in which the bakeries were geo-referenced and in which the warehouse and the transport of goods management systems were characterized, was possible to establish the set of parameters needed for the numerical routing algorithm that seeks serving the daily customer requirements. The numerical results show the importance and how incident can be this methodology for SME´s which do not have a formal structure, resources neither appropriated information systems to compete in the actual market.
