VRPTF is one of many various kinds of Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) which is still slightly discussed. As logistic is always an issue for both developed and developing country, this research aims to compare whether or not VRPTF is suitably applied to logistic distribution in Indonesia. As we know, Indonesia is one of the archipelagic countries, so distributing goods across the island requires a high cost. The purpose of this paper is giving cost comparison by using VRPTF method, Hub-and-Spoke method, and Capacitated VRP method, so countries that may experience similar case can apply this method and get the optimize route model. This study was conducted by taking case study from a company that produces a non-perishable product and generate using Open Solver and VBA program, both in Excel. This research indicates that VRPTF method is giving optimize cost than other methods.

The focus of national development on the infrastructure sector impacts on the rapid growth of the construction market. High demand and complex business processes make ready-mix concrete producers especially in Jakarta no longer able to rely on route planning and manual scheduling mechanisms, which have been some delays in deliveries that impact on the decline in service level. This research proposes an optimization method based on mixed integer linear programming on route planning mechanism and scheduling of ready-mix concrete delivery developed in Java language with Gurobi optimization library support. The simulation is done using the companys historical data of the research object, which is one of the ready-mix concrete producers in Jakarta. From the four simulations, the best output resulted with a total cost of - 3674 and a gap of 0.49%, where all customer requests are met in the given time window. These results indicate that the optimization model developed in this study can yield the optimum solution for route planning mechanism and ready-mix concrete delivery scheduling.
