<div>Hello all OptaPlanner geeks! :)</div>
<div>This is my first post on this list. I would be very
grateful if somebody could give me any advice in this matter
(details below).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We need to plan the schedule for repair units consisting of
few people with some particular skills and equipment.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What we know / What the Client has:</div>
<div>1. tasks - different tasks have different attributes like:</div>
<div>a) priority</div>
<div>b) time needed to fix a problem</div>
<div>c) number of employees needed</div>
<div>d) employees’ skills</div>
<div>i) destination coordinates of the task to perform (we can
use GIS to get road costs)</div>
<div>2. established number of employees working according to
work schedule and having particular skills</div>
<div>3. established number of vehicles and equipment</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What we want - to be able to plan tasks with the assumption
that a good schedule:</div>
<div>1. will ‘keep in mind’ all limitations (number of employees
and equipment)</div>
<div>2. will plan all tasks in the shortest possible amount of
time.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We want to optimize time that it takes to perform all
tasks, and time would be the only flexible feature here.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is OptaPlanner the right tool to this kind of problems?</div>

Sounds like a typical vehicle routing problem.<br>
<br>
Take a look at these video's:<br>

And the VRP example.<br>
<br>
To incoorporate the GIS system, Roman wrote an interesting blog
about doing that in practice, find links here:<br>
