- Abstract
Recently, companies have started to use engineering techniques more than ever due to competitive market conditions, high costs, and limited budgets. To be able to reduce incurred costs and increase profitability, companies deeply analyze all the existing processes carefully. In this work, the Employee Shuttle Bus management process of an international company, which is located in Gebze, is considered, analyzed, and improved through mathematical modeling technique. Unified and Area-Based solution alternatives are developed by extending the mathematical formulation of the widely studied School Bus Routing Problem. Both proposed methods and the current situation of the company have been implemented on GAMS and solved by the CPLEX solver. It has been observed that proposed methods have provided significant cost reduction with respect to the current situation of the company. Among the newly developed methods, the Area-Based method has provided the best cost reduction amounts with less resource usage and shorter tour lengths.
