Shortest route linear programming models are concerned with the application of the method in order to determine the fastest and most beneficial solutions to a given problem. (Anderson et al, 2016) Working as a pharmacy technician for a mail order pharmacy they utilized the shortest linear programming model with setting up to have prescriptions filled for several facilities and have them done before the schedule time that the deliver drivers would take them to the facilities. They would make 2 trips one in the morning and the other in the evening to the facilities for patients to have their medications for the month. This results in delivery drivers having taken the filled prescriptions to each location at a schedule time, each driver was assigned to deliver to 5 to 6 facilities with being responsible to make sure the facilities got the medications for patients, the patients are getting their medications before they out of the medication and company is saving money.
