In this research, data was taken from the distribution route which was recorded by the cashier at the Cahaya Kristal Tube Ice Ice Factory which is located on Jl, Damai, Prujakan Tambakan Village, Sinduharjo, Ngaglik, Sleman Yogyakarta. Then the data is processed using the Clarke and Wright Savings Algorithm and Sequential Insertion with the aim of providing the best or most effective route suggestions and then comparing the two methods to produce the Travel Route Distance and Distribution Costs. By using the Clarke and Wright Saving Algorithm, we get 2 vehicle routes which produce a combined route of 72 km with a daily distribution cost of IDR 147,000, and for the sequential insertion algorithm method we also get 2 vehicle routes which produce a combined route of 107 km with a daily distribution cost of IDR 182,000. Thus it can be concluded that routes formed using the Clarke and Wright Savings Algorithm are more effective and economical compared to routes formed using the Sequential Insertion

Distribution routes are generally a problem for every company, including in the public company BULOG Medan Amplas. Distribution to the Medan Amplas BULOG public company, namely having to serve every stall that is far from the warehouse with scattered locations, and limited vehicle capacity. So far, driver considerations in distributing products have only been based on random intuitions of driver and does not consider the efficiency of the route taken. Therefore, this research uses Clarke and Wright Savings algorithm to obtain optimal mileage by taking into account every consumer demand and vehicle capacity. Calculation results using the Clarke and Wright Savings Algorithm obtained the vehicle mileage of 695.08 km with a savings of 11 km or 1.56%.
