Abstract
A method for delivering an optimal routing solution that considers the complete operational cost model in the optimization process is provided. The method utilizes heterogeneous service providers to service heterogeneous service points, where the service points are geographically dispersed. The method includes providing a plurality of service point profiles that define parameters associated with a plurality of service points; providing a plurality of service provider profiles, that define parameters associated with a plurality of service providers; providing a service point visit plan for the plurality of service points; and scoring a plurality of routing solutions to service the plurality of service points, utilizing the service point profiles and the service provider profiles. In addition, scoring controls are provided for assigning a cost to, or penalty, either linearly or non-linearly, selected parameters being either met or not met within any possible routing solution. The profiles, visit plan, and scoring controls are provided to a route engine that determines an optimal routing solution according to the scoring model.
