Balancing Staff Finishing Times vs. Minimizing Total Travel Distance in Home Healthcare Scheduling

Applied Sciences
Cost reduction and staff retention are important optimization objectives in home healthcare (HHC) systems. Home healthcare operators need to balance their objectives by optimizing resource use, service delivery and profits. Minimizing total travel distances to control costs is a common routing problem objective while minimizing total finishing time ...
