Abstract :
This research was made based on the existing problems in the company's CV. Sumber
Jaya Gresik, which has not had a delivery route of timber products to a number of
agents the right to shorten the distance and minimize transportation costs. Based on
these problems then made this study by using the method Saving Clarke and Wright
heuristic. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal delivery route for
timber distribution so as to minimize the cost of distribution. Data from this study
were drawn based on the demand for wood in the month of December 2013 -
November 2014. And the object of this research is some kind of timber that camphor
wood, meranti wood, and wood nyatuh. The variables used are divided into five
variables: the initial distribution route, agent location data, the data mileage,
kendaaraan transport capacity, and the cost of transportation . The dependent variable
is to minimize distribution costs. From the results of data processing and the
processing of the initial distribution companies in the amount of 149.1 km / week and
total distance shipping timber using the Clarke and Wright heuristic Saving for a
distance of 121 km with an efficiency of 28.1, the cost of transportation is issued Rp
35.3544 million, - / year. Thus it can be concluded that the method of Clarke And
Wright Saving Heuristic better than the company's initial method with a distance of
28.1 km savings and cost savings of Rp. 789 360, - / year.
