Currently, due to the lack of commercial scheduling tools, Jumbo’s commerce department is constrained to manual scheduling. In order to reduce the complexity and the calculation time of this scheduling process, a number of decision variables are excluded and generalised. As a result, poor schedules are obtained with deadlines that theoretically cannot be achieved. In this research, a Scheduling Support Tool (SST) is developed. An enumerative backtracking method is effectively used to find the optimal schedule, which results in an increased fleet operational efficiency, and reduce the scheduling process time.
