Development of a Basic Methodology for Use in Analyzing Feasible Scheduling and Routing Schemes.

Abstract

The focus of this research has been primarily on the development and testing of interactive methodology for attacking very complex and difficult scheduling and routing problems. The research has involved three major components: (1) determining the level of human interaction, (2) developing an interactive interface, and (3) developing mathematical models to aid in the decision making process. The interactive interface has been built around a colorgraphics computer terminal. Two such units have been purchased by the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech as a result of research sponsored under this contract. Developing the interactive interface and determining the level of human interaction have been the most time consuming activities since there has been very little previous research on which to build in this area.
