XYZ has not yet applied a special method of planning demand in each of its distribution areas. This company also does not have a distribution activity schedule for the products to be shipped. This condition gives result in companies experiencing problems meeting customer demands and incurring excess distribution costs because they do not have optimal distribution activities. Therefore, the solution to this problem is to use the Distribution Requirement Planning (DRP) method. Distribution Requirements Planning is a method used to determine every need that occurs in the distribution process. By applying this DRP method, distribution costs can be reduced by IDR 15.920.327 with a cost reduction percentage of 32.61%.
