Abstract

Even a small advantages can be important in the competition conditions that are increasing day by day in the enterprises, logistics is becoming more important with each passing day. A significant part of the expenses of enterprises constitute logistics. This study was carried out with a (exact, exact) method, which guarantees the optimal solution so as to minimize the total time spent waiting for the vehicles of a lojstik company carrying road passenger. The software was developed with the C# programming language for the solution. The method of solution of the problem was followed by the Backtracking approach of the Branch and Bound technique. This method used; has the ability to reduce total completed counting.
