El presente artículo es un caso de estudio aplicado a una empresa colombiana de consumo masivo para minimizar los costos relacionados con sus operaciones logísticas al utilizar diferentes tamaños de empaque. Se formularon 2 modelos de optimización: uno para determinar los 5 tamaños de empaque secundario que disminuyen la necesidad de apertura para atender los pedidos recibidos, y otro para definir cuáles de esos tamaños de empaques son los más apropiados para atender cada canal de venta, minimizando el costo logístico total asociado. El análisis muestra hallazgos útiles para la atención de diversos canales, donde la optimización en la definición de los tamaños de empaques secundarios produjo una reducción promedio del 8,2% del costo logístico total de la empresa analizada.
