Abstract-This paper considers the problem of planning the logistics of distributing medication to points of dispensing (PODs), which will give medication to the public. Previous work on a two-stage routing and scheduling approach showed that it can generate solutions with reasonable minimum slack. This paper presents a delivery volume improvement algorithm that can increase the minimum slack of a given solution.
