“…To optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of logistical bases, they should be located in specific parts of a company's transportation network (Klaptia & Švecová, 2006). Okabe and Suzuki (2008) noted that a central logistical hub can be found by calculating the average value of the position coordinates of its delivery points using the density function model that was used by Sala-ngam, Suzuki, Toyotani, and Wakabayashi (2015), which selected the optimal location for a recycling system via a computer simulation. However, as previously mentioned, in addition to one unique hub, at least one more buffer warehouse seems to be required for online resale business.…”

The location of distribution centres for online retailers has become an important issue for many companies. The operation of the distribution centre for e-commerce seems to be different from the traditional concept of distribution centres. This study considers how the location of distribution centres are designed and operated for online retailing using a computer simulation with actual data. This paper analyses current issues in order to propose an effective location for e-commerce distribution centres. An effective location for a multidistribution system over a wide geographical area is required. This paper clearly points out the importance of locating e-commerce distribution centres over a wide geographical area by performing a computer simulation using actual data on the assumption that online resale business customers live in a metropolitan area. The study created a business model in which a buffer warehouse, which primarily handled commodities with high-frequency shipments, was located near a large consumption area and was used in addition to a large-scale distribution centre. The validity of the created business model was verified by performing a simulation based on actual data. The result revealed that these recommended improvement measures for the location of e-commerce distribution centres can function effectively.

“…The Jakarta Provincial Government has been trying to solve the problems regarding waste management by building an Intermediate Waste Management Facility or Intermediate Treatment Facility (ITF). ITF is a waste management facility in which rubbish collected is then selected, assessed, destroyed, burned, melted, and reduced water content based on the quality of the waste [6]. Based on the 2012-2032 Jakarta Provincial Waste Management Plan, the waste-to-energy (WtE) power plant facility will be built in 4 (four) locations in Jakarta, including Sunter, Cakung, Marunda, and Duri Kosambi.…”

Waste-to-energy (WtE) power plants in waste management have been applied widespread because it is considered the best waste management solution compared to other waste management technologies. However, Jakarta has relied heavily on landfills regarding its waste management. Bantargebang landfill has been the only landfill owned by Jakarta and has been operating since 1989, so it has almost reached its capacity limit. Thus, to solve the problem, the Provincial Government of Jakarta has planned to build an Intermediate Treatment Facility (ITF) in a WtE power plant in Sunter. This article aims to find out the plans and the challenges of WtE in Sunter, Jakarta. This research was conducted with a literature study on waste to energy in several countries that have applied it to their waste management systems and literature related to the progress of waste to energy development in Indonesia especially ITF Sunter, and the challenges that must be done faced. Based on the literature study, building an ITF is one of the Jakarta Provincial Government’s responsibilities. However, the composition and characteristics of the waste tend to be lower than (WtE) standards, so the waste cannot be effectively processed. Therefore, the use of a pre-treatment facility should be considered.
