Every company often experiences problems that occur in the distribution process. Distribution is an important aspect to reduce costs so that the costs incurred are minimized. Companies need the right strategy in distributing allocation. CV. Kembar Cemerlang Abadi experienced problems in the distribution allocation that was large enough so that the company got a small profit. This research aims to obtain an optimal solution in distributing ice crystals on CV. Eternal Brilliant Twins. The methods used in this study are the TOCM-MEDM method and the TOCM-SUM Approach method with optimal testing of the Stepping Stone method. Based on this case, the initial base fissile solution in TOCM-MEDM is obtained and in the TOCM-SUM Approach a cost of . Furthermore, after the optimization test was carried out on the TOCM-MEDM, a cost minimization was obtained and the TOCM-SUM Approach was obtained that the optimal solution was the same as the initial base fissile solution. Based on the results of this study, the solution of distribution problems using the TOCM-SUM Approach method is better than the TOCM-MEDM method.
