Good distribution network management is a very important competitive advantage for a company. West Java Bulog is the representative of the government in distributing and distributing rice, which is a staple food commodity for the Indonesian people in general, of course, must pay attention to the optimal distribution pattern. In carrying out its operational processes, West Java Bulog will be assisted by 7 regional subdivisions spread throughout the West Java region who will handle rice in their respective working areas. This study aims to determine the planning path and the optimum amount of rice distribution from the West Java Bulog to districts and cities that can minimize distribution costs so that the costs incurred will reach the lowest point using the Linear Programming method. The analysis of this research was assisted by LINDO Software version 7.0 for Windows 10.0. From the results of this study, the optimization of rice distribution at the West Java Bulog, with the optimum total distribution cost of USD 124,272.
