The distribution process is one of the most critical stages in supply chain management; therefore, the distribution process must be carried out properly, starting from the number of orders, delivery time, and quality assurance. This is very important because by keeping the distribution process reasonable, customer satisfaction will also be maintained—the problems faced by PT.

One of the locally produced products is Bajigur Powder, which is distributed by the four branch locations of the warehouse owned by PT. BSP including warehouses in Bandung, Karawang, Cirebon, and Bekasi. This study uses historical demand data from PT. BSP to PT.
