This Final duty produce design model distribution system for the finished of problems of product distibution stream. Method which used in system model is method of Crossdocking. Crossdocking used as by method to schedule delivery of product. Ther€ is two step scheduling of delivery, first of scheduling of delivery of factory Sales Center and both scheduling of shipping ofsales Center - outlet. Crossdocking repr€sent distribution melhod as a mean to minimize of is expense of supply, Crossdocking applied by functioned Sales Centar as facility of Crossdock, where at its distribution process of product sent from factory to outlet pass Sales Center without passing inventory storage process. Scheduling of first phase cover amounl, time, target of delivery, and used vehicle. By the end of this system device done by calculation of safety stock as anticipation to avoid stock out to demand of final consumer. Of device model this Crossdockingc an be yielded decrease of inventoryl evel in Sales Center, and decrease of transportation cost from factory to Sales Center.

This disguised case examines the issue of outsourcing to a low-cost country based on a thorough analysis of competitive cost drivers. The case demonstrates that labor cost is only one potential advantage and that transportation cost and other factors could more than offset labor savings in some product lines.

Distribution Efficiency

Abstract Improving water management in California requires a transition from imported to local water resources used efficiently. To assess this transitional capacity of water retailers in metropolitan Los Angeles County, we focused on a key water management metric: the water distribution efficiency. We traced the evolution of water loss reduction policy and practices globally with emphasis on California. California Senate Bills 1420 and 555 mandate annual water auditing and reporting for urban water suppliers. We surveyed and evaluated ten water retailers' approaches to monitor and reduce losses. Four of ten sampled water retailers monitored real losses, averaging 3–4% of total water supplied. Only three of ten sampled water retailers employed leak detection technology. Of the six sampled retailers with annual pipe replacement strategies, four retailers followed inadequate rehabilitation schedules. Most of the sampled retailers monitor water losses in percent, which misrepresents the actual volume. While a necessary step, California water loss legislation relies on the American Water Works Association Water Audit software. Verifying reported data for randomly selected retailers can ensure high data quality. Small retailers are exempt from mandatory water loss monitoring, and they need state support and resource pooling to improve their water distribution efficiency.

PT XYZ is one of freight forwarding companies in Indonesia, which is located in the city of Bandung. This company has managerial functions related to Collecting, Processing, Transporting, Delivery, and Reporting. However, the fact is in the process of Transporting this company still uses a zoning system which is a shipping system that still divides tertiary areas and each of these areas uses one vehicle. One problem that arises is that companies want effective and efficient performance in the distribution system of goods with the minimum total transportation costs. However, the company does not know yet whether the company's shipping routes have been effective and efficient or not. The company has tertiary network distribution route that are 2 routes with a total distance of 143.4 Km and a total transportation cost of  Rp 5,681,484 /month. This research aims to determine the optimal goods distribution route using the Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm method, which is the method of finding the shortest path following ant behavior in taking food to its nest. Based on the results of the research, it is obtained a total distance of 109.2 Km because it becomes 1 route and total transportation costs Rp 3,337,992 /month, then it is obtained optimal results with a difference in distance is 34.2 Km and a total transportation cost of  Rp 2,343,492 /month using one vehicle. Keywords: Optimization, Distribution, Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm
