This report explains how to implement a simple but effective routing system that will quickly determine (1) which locations should be visited by which delivery vehicles, and (2) in what sequence each vehicle should visit its assigned locations. The system uses only a map and two card files. It is easy to maintain and requires no additional clerical effort. The system is being used successfully by a large delivery organization in Atlanta.

This describes the successful implementation of a novel routing system based on a new travelling salesman heuristic by the first two authors. The application called for the efficient daily routing of a varying number of vehicles to more than 200 delivery points whose locations change at a rate of about 14% each month. The system had to be easily maintained by one person and require no resources (e.g., no computer). This system achieved all of these objectives, cost less than $50, and, moreover, shortened average travel times by 13% compared to previous performance. (Author)

This report presents some of the advantages of using behavioral measures in business, industry, and government settings. The development of a behavioral measurement system is illustrated by an example from the author's recent experience in conducting a study designed to improve organizational maintenance in a Fleet Marine Force Unit. Areas of concern related to behavioral measures, knowledge of being observed, observer bias, and the costs of using observational measures are discussed. (Author)
