Abstract
Many post offices can be seen in Thailand and most Thai people use post offices to send their packages. However customers do not get good service from post offices as expected and many problems can be found, such as the big problem of package lateness. Therefore, the post offices in Thailand are required to think of a new system of effective delivery to bring back reliability from customers. In order to find a solution of these problems, the central post office is focused on in this study and to achieve this study of purposes, the travelling salesman problem will be applied in this chapter.
