What is Travel Cost and Slack Cost:

Travel cost (in mins) is the time which the the field worker will take travelling from previous work location to the new destination. Less the Travel cost, better will be the efficiency of the worker.

Slack Cost(in mins) defines the unproductive or free time a worker has in between two jobs. For example if a worker has finished his previous job at 3 PM and the next job starts at 5 PM and it will only take him 1 hour to go from the current job location to new location, then the slack cost will be 1 hour(60 mins) in this case.
