The purpose of this article is to calculate the location of bases of technical assistance to fuel stations of a network of distribution of fossil fuels and biofuels in the State of Paraná. The research method was the quantitative modeling. The methodology included the separation of the municipalities in the State of Paraná in clusters, supported by the k-means method. Seven clusters, beyond the capital, were defined. Each cluster was treated as a local market. Then, by the barycenter method, Cartesian coordinates of gravity centers of the regions were calculated. The cities with lower distances to the calculated coordinates were chosen to host the bases of technical assistance, which minimizes cost and time of transportation to each city of the respective region. The main contribution of this research was the location of the seven service centers.Downloads
