Analysis of the Influence of Container Integrated Depot Location on Transportation Costs with Distance Traveled and Travel Time as Intervening Variables

Logistics is a system that requires coordination in maintaining a smooth supply chain and providing support to the industry, while the factors that affect this smooth running are the aspects of distance, time and cost. In addition, to support the implementation of logistics, it is necessary to optimize the location of facilities, in this case in the form of depots and garages in an area. One of the areas that has the potential to optimize the placement of the location is the Bekasi Regency Industrial Estate. This study aims to analyze the influence of the location of integrated depots on cost, distance and time with variations in the influence of several variables directly or indirectly. This study uses the weighting method to select the potential location (the location of the integrated depot) then the linear regression method to be able to identify the direct effect between related variables and for the indirect effect between certain variables, the path analysis method is used. Data collection is carried out by obtaining primary data in the form of observations and interviews with respondents and secondary data in the form of data obtained from related institutions, both the Government and Business Entities. The output of this study is the value of the direct influence of the integrated depot location variables on each variable (distance, time cost), distance and time on cost and the value of the indirect effect on the integrated depot location variable on costs through distance and time.
