Determination of distribution center location for paper packaging using Center of Gravity method and Analytical Hierarchy Process.

Determining the proper location of the distribution center is a strategic plan in maintaining customer service commitment, saving time, transportation costs, and general operational costs. The purpose of this research is to determine the distribution center location in the case of paper packaging products. The method used is center of gravity and AHP. The location recommended by the center of gravity method is right in the center of the North Bekasi toll road which is not feasible (coordinates X: -6.2621505, Y: 107.015805). The priority of distribution center locations in the case of paper packaging products using the AHP method is C location with a weight of 0.3402, A location with a weight of 0.3329, and B location with a weight of 0.3269, respectively. Location C superiors in three of the four criteria, i.e. facility, accessibility, and sustainability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
