| Abstract: | This research addresses the problem of scheduling technicians to travel from customer site to customer site to perform emergency maintenance on office machines, computers, robots, telecommunications equipment, medical equipment, heating/cooling equipment, household appliances, and other equipment. The authors call this the Travelling Technical Problem (TTP). In its simplest form, the TTP is a multiserver, sequence-dependent, tardiness minimization problem. |
