Pendistribusian Penjualan Beras Menggunakan Best Candidate Method Dan Modi

Abstract

Four Brothers Store Pekanbaru is one of the shops engaged in the distribution of rice. The distribution of rice must be allocated in such a way because there are differences in transportation costs from one source to different destinations. The transportation model is the distribution of an item from a source (supply) to a destination (demand) aiming to optimize the number of shipments to the destination in one shipment, so as to reduce costs as low as possible. The method used in this study is the Best Candidate Method. The Best Candidate Method is a method to find a feasible solution for the minimum initial cost of transportation by comparing the total cost between one combination and another. Next, the optimal solution will be determined using the MODI method. The purpose of this study is to obtain a feasible solution for the minimum initial cost of distributing rice sales at the Empat Saudara Store using the Best Candidate Method. Based on the results of the research on the distribution of rice at the Empat Saudara Store Pekanbaru using the Best Candidate Method, the solution was not optimal at a cost of Rp. 996,566 after checking using the MODI method resulted in an optimal solution of Rp. 976,665.
