Practical Risk Modeling for the Stochastic Technician Routing and Scheduling Problem

Planning for uncertainty is crucial for finding good, stable solutions. However, it is often impractical to incorporate stochastic elements into a large production system. Our paper tackles this issue in the context of the Technician Routing and Scheduling Problem (TRSP). We develop a set of techniques, based on phase-type distributions, to quickly and accurately evaluate … Read more
