ANALISIS OPTIMASI DISTRIBUSI BERAS BULOG DI PROVINSI JAWA BARAT

Abstract

Abstract. Ability to manage a good distribution channel is a competitive
advantage which is importance for industries. Bad distribution channel will have
bad impact in whole aspects of organization, especially on its profit margin.
Precise quantity and on time delivery are crucial aspects of distribution success.
Distribution and transportation system have to be design optimally to result the
minimum cost of distribution. Perum Bulog as government agency who runs the
distribution of rice has to pay attention on optimizing its distribution channel. In
operating their task, Perum Bulog will be support by its sub division who will be
manages the distribution process of rice in its own region. This research is focused
to define the optimum combination of channel and quantity on distribution of rice
from Sub Divre West Java to the cities and regencies in order to achieve the
minimum distribution cost using transportation method, Linear Programming
method, and LINDO. As the result of this research, the minimum cost of optimal
distribution of rice on West Java Region is 5.3 billion rupiahs.
