Route optimization model design to support multi-cluster commodity distribution in the Moluccas islands

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to design a route optimization model to support commodity distribution in the Moluccas archipelago zone. The model is designed using an integer programming approach for multi-depot multi-cluster with the aim of minimizing distance. In this case, several points on the island must be serviced. Each service point will only choose one port to serve. Sea transportation routes are formed from selected port nodes with a ring-ring-star hierarchical structure. A model designed to complement transportation routes in meeting the demand for service points by considering local, regional and global route distribution. Each level route will select one or more depots which will represent set to the top route level. The model is applied to several scenarios to see the best distance recommendations from island sample characteristics and point and island sizes.
