LOGWARE (ROUTER) Exercise

Suzuki Drugs delivers prescriptions to nursing homes and retirement communities using station wagons. The document provides a table with customer location coordinates, delivery volume in cartons, unloading time, and time windows for stops. It also provides details on delivery constraints like average driving speed, allowed lunch break, and base pharmacy location. The goal is to design a dispatch route plan that minimizes the total distance traveled to deliver prescriptions to all customers between 8am and 6pm.

LOGWARE (ROUTER) Exercise

As an adjunct to its retail business, Suzuki Drugs fills prescriptions for


outlying nursing homes, extended cares facilities, rehabilitation centers and
retirement homes. Part of this service is to deliver the prescription order to
the customer site. Station wagons having a capacity of 63 cartons are
used for delivery. Customer locations are geo-coded by a linear grid overlay
with a map-scaling factor of 4.6 per coordinate unit. Customer data for a
typical delivery day is given in the table below, and the LOGWARE template
for this assignment. The 0,0 coordinates on the grid are in the southwest
corner.

Deliveries may begin as early as 8am (leave depot) and drivers are to
return to the base pharmacy by 6pm. Average driving speed is 30 mph.
Drivers are allowed a one-hour lunch break after 12 noon. Most customers
may receive their deliveries between 9am and 5pm, but there are a few
exceptions. The base pharmacy is located at X (horizontal coordinate) =
13.7, Y (vertical coordinate) = 21.2. Design a dispatch route plan that will
minimize the total distance traveled by the vehicles.
