Abstract

Periodically scheduled meetings between managers and their employees are often used to monitor progress. Unfortunately, people attending two or more of these meetings in one day may find their time cut up into pieces too small to be useful. This problem can be solved as a traveling salesman problem. The efficient solution found by this method was not implemented because of factors not incorporated into the objective function.
