A robust home health care routing-scheduling problem with temporal dependencies under uncertainty
作者:
Highlights:
• Proposing a robust model for a home health care system under uncertainty.
• Integrating Monte Carlo simulation and meta-heuristics to solve the developed models.
• Considering the dependency between synchronized services and continuity of care.
• Considering multiple deployments of one caregiver in a one-day planning horizon.
• Confirming the efficiency of the model by performing comparative experiments.
