Flow-Shop Scheduling Problem Applied to the Planning of Repair and Maintenance of Electromedical Equipment in the Hospital Industry

In the literature, several approaches have been proposed to integrate and optimize product supply construction processes associated with demand management. However, in Industry 4.0, there needs be more studies related applying techniques that directly affect programming reprogramming process integrates industries at operational level. This document proposes a flow-shop scheduling procedure address problem of planning repair medical equipment public hospitals whose main objective is eliminate downtime minimize total production time. The research stems from practical responding clinical users who make use critical equipment, such as mechanical respirators, due COVID-19, limited quantity this which makes it necessary seek keep operation for most extended amount novelty study was applied real industry high economic social impact, has not explored previously. results show improvements overall execution electro-medical repair. Several methods were identified future work, need consider work interruptions psychosocial effects on workers stricter times.
