1. Transportation Problem

Transportation problem is one very important thing and is always present in the delivery of goods, as for the cause which changes from time to time because of the many variables surrounding. Among the weather is not predictable, the quality of roads that do not meet the standard, the density of vehicles that each day is always increasing but not matched by the addition of road capacity or omissions in the delivery driver.
The first thing that the weather has an important influence, especially in countries that have a base like the Indonesian archipelago, where the sea state wave height of sea and weather must be considered in the transportation problem.
And the weather forecast is good to solve the problem, but it is different with the selection of routes to be taken by a firm in delivering goods to reach the consumers. Companies must consider the distance and the storage capacity of the warehouse that will be addressed.

2. Fleet Route Determination

In the transportation problem has been mentioned that the route to be taken must consider the distance to the warehouse and warehouse storage capacity. The distance that is the main component in this regard should be noted that the shortest route is not the main thing that must be considered but must consider also the capacity of the warehouse because people are always wrong by giving priority to such factors as the basis for delivery of goods. 
Facilitate the selection of the route it must consider many things such as distance, travel time, a lot of fuel used or the security of travel routes. All these things must be considered for the risk of election errors can be minimized so as not to cause damage that is too big.
Understanding the characteristics of the route can be understood and used in order not to cause a swollen storage costs due to goods stored in warehouse storage for too long resulting in high costs of production cost.
 

3. Transportation Mode Selection
A shipment of goods from one area to another area does require a careful and accurate calculations in order to avoid any risk so as to reduce the cost of transportation costs. Previously described transport problems, and determine the route the fleet, so continuing on transport mode choice. 
Transport is meant here is a vehicle that can make delivery of goods to the destination that consumers who need the goods. The main purpose is to deliver transport quickly and on time. As for other factors that influence the choice of transport when associated with cost minimization, which is looking for a cheap transport but can be unreliable or has a maximum velocity and not on time or late.
In each routine delivery job professionalism, then a delay into a matter that should be avoided because it involves the timeliness of the preferred customers or users of the goods.

4. Facility Siting
The latter stages of logistics and supply chain systems is how to determine the location of storage facilities for products that will be sold to the consumer, because not every time, consumers always buy the same product. If we as a provider of goods or a distributor or manufacturer will always provide the needs of consumers even though consumers do not need these products, because consumer needs are always changing with time.
Delivery of goods is easily and quickly is a matter that must be met to consumers' satisfaction to ensure that we do not want consumers of course if we move to the producer or provider of the product.
