In this research we proposed a Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) approach tominimize the cost involving in service tours. We used nearest neighbourhood search algorithm to obtain the solutions to the TSP. Computational examples show that the new service routes obtained using this algorithm will reduce the travelling cost significantly in comparison to existing routs.
