Stochastic integer programming for multi-disciplinary outpatient clinic planning

A Multi-Stage Stochastic Integer Programming Model for Surgery Planning

We propose a multi-stage stochastic mixed integer programming formulation for the assignment of surgeries to operating rooms (ORs) over a finite planning horizon. We consider the demand for surgery and the duration of surgery to be random variables. The objective is to minimize three competing criteria: expected cost of surgery cancellations, postponements, and OR overtime. We discuss propertie...

A mixed integer linear programming formulation for a multi-stage, multi-Product, multi-vehicle aggregate production-distribution planning problem

In today’s competitive market place, companies seek an efficient structure of supply chain so as to provide customers with highest value and achieve competitive advantage. This requires a broader perspective than just the borders of an individual company during a supply chain. This paper investigates an aggregate production planning problem integrated with distribution issues in a supply chain ...

A Multi-Objective Programming Model for Disaster Preparedness Planning

Nowadays, the necessity of accurate quantitative decision support methods is becoming a critical subject for managers as rivalry between organizations caused a more fragile economic environment and brand reputation is becoming more important. Furthermore, dealing with incidents after they happened is not accepted by customers anymore. Managers require powerful decision making tools to support t...
