The implementation of a sequential program was successfully made in C. The robustness of GRASP obeys to the inclusions of strategic procedures for each one of the three local search neighborhood structures employed as a second phase of GRASP. Finally a parallel system was built to reduce the time cost of the CPU.</p>}, number={3}, journal={International Journal of Combinatorial Optimization Problems and Informatics}, author={Bernábe Loranca, Beatriz and Estrada Analco, Martín and González Velázquez, Rogelio and Sánchez López, Abraham and Cerezo Sánchez, Jorge and Bustillo Díaz, Mario}, year={2018}, month={Jan.}, pages={33–38} }
