Summary:A method for creating a spatio-temporal schedule includes receiving a set of available work crews and a set of workorders to be scheduled, sequencing the set of workorders, wherein each workorder of the set of workorders is associated with a geographic location, a start time and an end time, and iterating through the set of available work crews, assigning a plurality of workorders of the set of workorders fully allocating a current crew before selecting a next crew, until all work crews are fully allocated and/or all workorders are assigned, wherein the assignment of workorders for a given work crew generates a route comprising the plurality of workorders.
