Question:
The Nockem Dead Casket Company sells and distributes caskets to funeral homes in the Columbus, Ohio, region. Funeral homes place orders at a warehouse (X = 7.2, Y = 8.4) for delivery throughout the week. The funeral home locations and the weekdays for delivery are given in Figure 7-26. Number of caskets and the funeral home coordinates are given in Table 7-9. Deliveries are made using one 18-casket truck and one 27-casket truck. Trucks leave the warehouse to make deliveries and return the same day.
Using the Principles for Good Routing and Scheduling, develop a good routing plan for the company.
