This paper addresses the solution methods for the stochastic home-caregiver scheduling and routing problem which arises in many service industries such as home care and home health care. In the problem, the caregiver’s travel times and service times for customers are stochastic. A chance constraint is introduced to ensure the on-time service probability for the customers. Such stochastic travelling...
This paper addresses a periodic vehicle routing problem encountered in home health care (HHC) logistics. It extends the classical Periodic Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (PVRPTW) to three types of demands of patients at home. Demands include transportation of drugs/medical devices between the HHC depot and patients׳ homes, delivery of special drugs from the hospital to patients, and delivery...
The home health care crew scheduling and routing problem with stochastic service times is studied in this paper. A stochastic programming model with recourse is constructed to describe the problem. The approximate formulation for the expected penalty for late arrival at a customer is obtained and analyzed. According to its features, the problem is transformed into a classical set partitioning problem...
Weekly home health care (HHC) logistics optimization problem is considered in this paper. It extends the classical Periodic Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows to three types of demands of patients at home. Demands include transportation of drugs/medical devices between the HHC depot and patients' homes, delivery of special drugs from a hospital to patients, and delivery of blood samples from...
