| Abstract: | Motivation of this research: The Gooi en Vechtstreek region (RGV) and its care providers face high costs in social care services. One of the reasons for these costs is the inefficient transportation of clients for social care services. A solution could be to reorganize this transportation. This thesis examines the impact of a potential new strategy. Research objective and questions: The objective of this study is to develop a decision-making algorithm to prospectively assess the impact of various strategies on key performance indicators related to transportation services for clients of social care services in the RGV. To complete this objective the following research questions are formulated: • What is the current strategy regarding the transportation of clients for social care services in the RGV? • What methods are known to solve VRPs? • How should the transportation planning algorithm be constructed? • What is the performance of various strategies regarding Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in the model? • Are there recommendations that can be suggested to the RGV for improving the current situation regarding the transportation of clients for social care services? |
