Determination of Distribution Center Location using Analysis of Time-Based Set Covering Model and Maximal Covering Model Analysis

The distribution or delivery process is one factor that affect customer satisfaction as the goal of supply chain. In order for chain to be competitive in competition, time an important manage, so it could provide high service level value. One affects center location. A strategic location would facilitate and speed up process. This research discusses model determining made at right amount by analyzing time-based using set covering maximal model. numerical example this case study on paint Bandung which has a number delivering clusters. Each cluster consists building material stores are located scattered. There problems fulfilling demands times. analysis used determine serve all consumer demands. Based calculation results, was found there were two locations. Two centers fulfill objective function cost minimization satisfy results sensitivity show several factors influence determination number.
