Abstract

Pos Indonesia is a delivery service provider company that has a central distribution center in theregion of West Java, which is the Mail Processing Center Bandung. MPC Bandung has a function to regulatethe distribution of packages according to the destination area. The company has a target to minimizetransportation costs when shipping goods. The delivery process carried out by MPC Bandung can bemodeled as the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). This research focuses on the efficiency of the distributionroutes of documents and packages to 12 destination post offices in the secondary West Java Region. Analysiswas conducted using two classical heuristic methods, Clarke and Wright Savings and Nearest Neighbor, withthe aim of obtaining a more optimal route in order to minimize transportation costs. Alternative 2, which isdesigned using the CAWSA method, was chosen to be the best alternative because it produces the shortestmileage output of 894.2 km per day with a savings of 54.11% on the existing route, which has a total mileageof 1,948.7 km. This alternative was chosen as a proposed route improvement for the company. Thetransportation cost efficiency was obtained at 50.94% from Rp. 115.546.200 for the existing route to Rp.56,686,500 for the selected route.

Abstract

Efficient distribution is a critical factor in the food sales industry to ensure product quality, cost effectiveness, and customer satisfaction. The reliance on third-party online delivery services for distributing raw food ingredients has created significant logistics costs for a healthy food company in Bandung. To address this issue, the company aims to manage its own logistics using available delivery vehicles. The main challenge lies in determining the optimal delivery route that minimizes time and cost while serving an increasing number of outlets. This study applies a constructive heuristic approach to the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), since no prior research has examined delivery routes for this company. Constructive heuristics are chosen for their ability to provide feasible solutions that are easy and quick to implement. Two methods are employed: the Nearest Neighbor and the Nearest Insertion. The results indicate that the Nearest Neighbor method produces a total distance of 70.3 km, while the Nearest Insertion yields 68.1 km. Thus, the Nearest Insertion method achieves a shorter route by 2.2 km, equivalent to a 3.1% reduction compared with Nearest Neighbor. Based on these findings, the Nearest Insertion method is selected as the optimal route. This research provides a practical initial framework for improving logistics efficiency in food distribution and can serve as a foundation for future optimization studies.
