[rules-users] [Drools Planner] Multi depot CVRP / CVRPTW

[Mats Norén]

Hi Geoffrey,
Do you think it would be possible to integrate the nurse rostering example
with the vrp example? By that I mean to schedule nurses *and* stops in an
optimal way. At the same time.
I'm looking at a home care service problem where there is a need for weekly
schedules for the nurses as well as an ambition to minimize the driving
distance as well.

Is it feasible or is it troublesome to have several planning entities at
the same time?

Regards,
Mats
