Question:
A listing of deliveries to be completed for the day are shown below. Assuming that the customers are ranked in proximity to one another (i.e., customer 4 is closer to customer 3 than customer 5 is), use the concurrent scheduler approach to assign deliveries to vehicles such that no deliveries are late and driving distance is minimized. Determine how many delivery vehicles are needed. Also, determine each vehicles and drivers delivery schedule, with the start time and the finish time. Assume that drive time to each customer is 20 minutes.
