ABSTRACT
Logistic process plays an important role in daily activities. The basic function of distribution management is delivering product from the place where its produce to the place where it is used, including physical activities such as storage and shipping goods, or non-physical activities such as information processing and service to the customers. This function makes a good service to customer, and can be seen on achieved Customer Service Level, completeness of the product in customer’s hand, and satisfied after-sales services. Distribution management system not only concern about delivering product from producer to the end-users but also covers the routing plan and delivery schedule to fulfill customer’s demand. Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is a combinatorial optimization problem seeking to service a number of customers with a fleet of vehicles. One of solving method in VRP is Saving Heuristic. This method could reduce the total distance by merging several routes into one route, therefore the ease of total distance give a good impact to total distribution cost, that consist of fixed cost and variable cost. In solving problem using Saving Heuristic method, the first step is determining the distance of each customer’s location. Secondly, make the list of saving that contains only one saving value for each pair of different customers. After that, rank the saving value with non-increasing fashion, which sorted from the highest saving to the lowest saving. This list is used to merge feasibly a pair of routes. Thirdly, define the new route by extracting from the top of the list and merge the customer’s location that possible. If the locations are not possible to be merged, then try to merge with another route that located in the same cluster. By using Saving Heuristic method, the total distance decrease 1,175 km, and the route are reduce from 11 routes to 5 routes. Since the reduction of total distance, the total cost is also decrease in amount of Rp 2.437.500 with 94.2% fleet utilization.

ABSTRAK
Manajemen sistem distribusi tidak hanya meliputi penyaluran barang dari produsen kepada konsumen saja, tetapi juga meliputi pengaturan jalur distribusi dan penjadwalan pengiriman produk untuk memenuhi kebutuhan konsumen.
Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) adalah suatu metode yang dapat mengoptimasi
layanan pengantaran produk kepada konsumen menggunakan beberapa armada. Salah satu metode dalam VRP adalah Saving Heuristic. Metode ini menghasilkan penghematan jarak total dari keseluruhan jarak tempuh dengan menggabungkan beberapa jalur pengiriman produk menjadi satu jalur, sehingga dapat menghemat biaya distribusi baik dari segi biaya tetap maupun biaya
variable. Dalam memecahkan permasalahan dengan menggunakan Saving Heuristic, langkah pertama yang dilakukan adalah mengetahui jarak antar setiap
lokasi konsumen (node). Langkah kedua adalah menghitung penghematan yang dihasilkan apabila terjadi penggabungan dua buah jalur yang berbeda tujuan menjadi satu jalur. Hasil yang didapat kemudian diurutkan dari yang paling banyak menghasilkan penghematan, sampai yang paling sedikit. Setelah diperoleh daftar ranking, langkah ketiga adalah menentukan jalur yang harus dipilih sesuai dengan urutan dalam daftar ranking, dan masing-masing permintaan yang akan diantarkan tidak boleh melebihi kapasitas armada dalam satu kali angkut. Metode ini juga mempertimbangkan lokasi konsumen, apabila dari daftar penghematan terdapat lokasi konsumen yang berjauhan, maka kedua lokasi tersebut tidak memungkinkan untuk berada dalam satu jalur pengantaran. Dengan metode tersebut diperoleh pengurangan jalur yang semula berjumlah 11 jalur menjadi 5 jalur pendistribusian. Dari segi jarak tempuh, Saving Heuristic menghasilkan pengurangan 1.175 km, penghematan biaya distribusi sebesar Rp 2.437.500 dengan efisiensi pengangkutan sebesar 94,2%.
