| Summary: | PT Asahimas Flat Glass has challenges in improving quality in terms of
distribution distance, time, and cost without reducing the quality of goods. PT
Asahimas Flat Glass targets for finished goods distribution costs to be no more
than 1.5% of overall operating costs. The initial percentage of finished goods
distribution costs compared to operating costs is 1.58%. One of the efforts that
can be made is to organize a good distribution pattern, this will have a big impact
because this pattern will be used every day. This research develops distribution
route improvement at PT Asahimas Flat Glass, Cikampek Factory, using the
Saving Matrix method. The purpose of this research is to improve the efficiency
of the distribution process by considering travel distance, travel time,
transportation cost, and total carbon emission. This study detected considerable
inefficiencies in the initial distribution route. The analysis showed a 5.81%
reduction in total travel distance from 13,752,960km/year to 12,954,559km/year.
Travel time efficiency of 2.24% from 200,280 hours/year to 195,792 hours/year.
Distribution cost efficiency of 9.19% from Rp66,950,772,480/year to
Rp60,796,461,033/year. In addition, the new distribution route also resulted in a
reduction in total carbon emissions by 5.81% from 18,429 tons/year to 17,359
tons/year, which is in line with PT Asahimas Flat Glass' sustainability goals. The
findings in this study show how effective and efficient this method is in creating a
more cost-effective and environmentally friendly distribution route.
Recommendations include implementation at other plants, monitoring and
adjustment, employee training, and investment in technological automation.
Further research can focus on integrating different improvement algorithms and
realizing increased efficiency levels in distribution.
