Abstract
One logistic problem in many trade centers is each merchant must have its own delivery unit. This condition occurs in many trade centers that sell products that customers cannot bring it by themselves such as electronics, furniture or machineries. By having their own delivery units, merchants can deliver their ordered products independently. Unfortunately having its own delivery unit needs investment, operational and maintenance costs. Meanwhile, the utility of delivery unit will fluctuate. Based on this problem, in this research, we propose new coordinated model for delivery system that suitable for trade center characteristics. In this research, besides delivery time, we also concern on installation time. This model is developed by using nearest destination method. In this research, the observed parameters are total travel distance, total travel time, success ratio and number of vehicles. Meanwhile, the adjusted parameters are number of merchants, number of delivery orders, number of goods, speed and installation time. Based on the test result, it is shown that the proposed coordinated model performs better than the non coordinated one, especially, in reducing the total travel time and total travel distance.
