Abstract
The aim of the present article is to decide the ideal number of warehouses for a food manufacturer in the north of Spain (Asturias) for the year 2000, and their ideal location in the Spanish Peninsula by cluster analysis. The stages followed are to comment first on the underlying assumptions of the study, then on the methodology and the structure of the program developed to solve the problem, as well as on their input and output files. How the cluster and cost are calculated is discussed and finally the solution to this real case is provided.
