ANALISIS PENENTUAN RUTE DISTRIBUSI TRUK TANGKI DALAM PROSES PENDISTRIBUSIAN PRODUK BAHAN BAKAR MINYAK DENGAN PEMANFAATAN SOFTWARE ARCGIS (Studi Kasus: PT Pertamina Patra Niaga)

Abstract

PT Pertamina Patra Niaga is a subsidiary of PT Pertamina (Persero) which is given the task or mandate to carry out the process of distributing energy to all communities in Indonesia. One part of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga is the Bandung Ujung Berung Fuel Terminal which is tasked with distributing energy in the Greater Bandung area. One of the main components in this distribution process is the distribution route implemented. This distribution route is very important to be able to maintain energy sources that can be enjoyed by the entire community without obstacles. From a company perspective, this energy distribution route must be considered in order to achieve effectiveness and efficiency in the process. In this research, the energy distribution route for the Bandung City area using tank cars was studied. There are a total of 81 gas stations in Bandung City and fuel demand must be met every day. Apart from that, there is a total of 77 tank trucks ready to be used to distribute fuel to all gas stations in Bandung City every day. This research examines the distribution routes that have been implemented by companies to carry out the fuel distribution process. Of the total 81 gas stations in Bandung City, there are 1947 KL of fuel needed every day. Meanwhile, the total capacity of the entire available fleet is only 1576 KL. Therefore, companies must be able to think of ways to distribute fuel efficiently and effectively. The results of this research are that researchers provide recommendations for distribution routes that have been created using ArcGIS software to companies for comparison with the systems currently in use.
