Abstract To tackle the stochastic multi-depot community home health care problem, this work formulates a stochastic programming model with chance constraint to minimize the total operation time. Moreover, an improved shuffled shepherd optimization algorithm is designed by applying crossover operation instead of the basic step updating method. Therefore, the designed approach can suitably solve the community home health care problem with discrete characteristic. Extensive experiments are carried out and the results show that the proposed approach has better performance in solving the considered problem compared with two well-known meta-heuristic methods.
