XYZ , L.P is an animal feed firm who faces problems of high cost and long time to carry out distribution activities. This happens after an increase in demand for animal feed which was not followed by significance of increase in cost and distribution time. The research aimed to design a distribution system and determine an optimum distribution route using efficient resources, in order to obtain a minimum vehicle mileage. The research consists of 8 stages. Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) with Nearest Neighbor method was carried out, followed by optimizing the route solution obtained from the VRP calculation using the Simulated Annealing (SA) Algorithm. According to the route optimization using SA, the mileage, travel time, and distribution costs can be reduced by 40.04%, 75%, and 49.85%, respectively. It is, therefore, assumed that the firm can gain benefits, in terms of cost and time, by implementing the proposed distribution method.</p> ER -
