Abstract

Efficiency of the optimal vehicle route to generate effective delivery is an important issue in the logistics world. The common methods usually practiced in delivery systems are direct shipment, indirect shipment and milk run method. The objective of this research is to analyze the optimization of delivery route by comparing direct shipment method to milk run method to obtain effective delivery. This research involved 8 suppliers and 1 delivery route from the total population of 18 suppliers at PT. Toyota Motor Manfacturing Indonesia and 4 delivery routes in Cikarang area. Data were analyzed by using Vehicle Routing Problem and saving matrix method. The result shows that the optimal delivery route can minimize the distance and vehicle leadtime, therefore, the total cost spent in the milkrun delivery process is cheaper than by applying direct shipment method. It can be concluded that regular parts shipment process by using milk run method is more effective than by using direct shipment method
