1. A company delivers packages from its regional distribution center (RDC) to its customers using a truck. To reduce the operating expenses, the company seeks to evaluate deploying a drone to deliver a subset of customers in the route serviced by the truck. The drone's technical limitations include the maximum payload, maximum flight distance, and minimum time for recharge. Based on the maximum flight distance, recharge time, and recharge equipment requirements, the company has determined that the drone can only be deployed once from the truck while the truck is serving the customers on its route. Consequently, the drone is launched either from the DC or a customer location on the truck route. The drone delivers a parcel (within the stipulated weight/volume capacity) and reaches the subsequent customer stop on the truck route to join the truck. If the drone is launched from the last delivery location on the truck route, then the drone returns back directly to the DC. The objective for the project is to determine the truck-drone route through process automation.

Business Problem Framing:
