The multiple traveling salesmen problem (MTSP) is an extension of the traveling salesman problem with many production and scheduling applications. The TSP has been well studied including methods of solving the problem with genetic algorithms. The MTSP has also been studied and solved with GAs in the form of the vehicle-scheduling problem. This work presents a new modeling methodology for setting up the MTSP to be solved using a GA. The advantages of the new model are compared to existing models both mathematically and experimentally. The model is also used to model and solve a multi line production problem in a spreadsheet environment. The new model proves itself to be an effective method to model the MTSP for solving with GAs. The concept of the MTSP is then used to model and solve with a GA the use of one salesman make many tours to visit all the cities instead of using one continuous trip to visit all the cities. While this problem uses only one salesman, it can be modeled as a MTSP and has many applications for people who must visit many cities on a number of short trips. The method used effectively creates a schedule while considering all required constraints. / Ph. D.

­^¤åºK­n¡G In today¡¦s knowledge economy age, competition emphasizes on human capital and knowledge accumulation. It¡¦s quite a different way from manufacturing era when competitive competencies mainly come from machine assets, materials and land capital. Therefore, high quality of human resources becomes one of the key sources of business success and competitive advantages. Because the process of service delivery needs high degree of personal contact, the quality of service providers has great impacts on the quality of service provided. And cultivating employees with service intent and customer orientation is an important mission which can¡¦t be waited. The purpose of this study is to develop a scale using to measure the degree of internal marketing behaviors by referring to researches in the past and asking opinions from academic and practical experts. This study still tries to study the securities salesmen in the southern branches of integrated securities corporations and verify the relationship between the degree of internal marketing and behavior- based evaluation policies perceived by securities salesmen and the degree of their job satisfaction and customer orientation. In addition, this study also tries to test if securities salesmen feel higher degree of satisfaction about internal marketing policy, they have higher degree of job satisfaction and perform higher degree of customer orientation. There are six findings of this study. They are as the following: (1) the perceived degree of internal marketing and behavior- based evaluation policies and the satisfaction degree of internal marketing policy have positive impacts on the degree of security salesmen¡¦s job satisfaction. (2) job satisfaction and customer orientation isn¡¦t significantly related, and there could be some other factors which have impacts on this relationship. (3) the perceived degrees of internal marketing and behavior- based evaluation policies have positive impacts on the degree of securities salesmen¡¦s customer orientation. (4) the satisfaction degree of internal marketing policy is negatively related to securities salesmen¡¦s customer orientation. (5) the perceived degree of behavior- based evaluation policy moderates the relationship of the perceived degree of internal marketing policy and customer orientation. (6) the perceived degree of behavior- based evaluation policy moderates the relationship of the satisfaction degree of internal marketing policy and customer orientation. And the outcome of factor analysis of the perceived degree of internal marketing policy is six factor constructs, compensation, personal growth, comprehension, supervisors¡¦ concern, promotion and place constructs. The original product constructs is divided into three constructs, compensation, personal growth and comprehension, and the other constructs such as promotion, supervisors¡¦ concern and place constructs remain the same. The constructs we gain from this study are consistent with marketing mix, 7Ps.
