Simulated Annealing for the Multiple Centre Vaccination Scheduling Problem with Time Windows

Key Points

• Optimized vaccination scheduling leads to better allocation of resources, reducing wait times.
• Using simulated annealing, the model shows effectiveness improvement by 30% in scheduling across multiple centers.
• Analysis employs algorithms to manage time windows, facilitating better logistical planning of vaccination campaigns.
• This approach highlights the need for advanced optimization methods in public health logistics.
