This paper deals with a multi-period technician routing and scheduling problem. The problem carries out the tasks at various locations by being divided into teams considering differently skilled technicians. This paper provides a bi-objective mixed integer programming method to model the problem since the goals of the performed model are to optimize the travel cost while simultaneously minimizing the overtime and the waiting time. The paper introduces a fuzzy logic approach to solving the proble
