A Shift Sequence for Nurse Scheduling Using Linear Programming Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
The Nurse scheduling problem (NSP) of this paper is to study and analyze the scheduling process in practice, and propose models and heuristics to improve both the process and the quality of the resulting schedule. Nurses should benefit from this study by having higher quality schedules while the employees in charge of scheduling should enjoy the positive benefits of an optimization tool to solve problem related to healthcare, which should guide their work and is certainly superior to suit and fallacy. The objective is to maximize the fairness of the schedule. This paper illustrates how the linear programming solves the nurses scheduling problem and how it has been effectively used in hospitals. A numerical illustration example of nurse scheduling for 8 hour shift is presented and the optimum solution is solved by Excel solver

Nurse rostering using fuzzy logic: A case study
In this paper, we used the fuzzy set theory for modeling flexible constraints and uncertain data in nurse scheduling problems and proposed a fuzzy linear model for nurse rostering problems. The developed model can produce rosters that satisfy hospital objectives, ward requirements and staff preferences by satisfying their requests as much as possible. Fuzzy sets are used for modeling demands of...
متن کاملA fuzzy multi-objective linear programming approach for solving a new multi-objective job shop scheduling with sequence-dependent setup times
This paper presents a new mathematical model for a bi-objective job shop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times that minimizes the weighted mean completion time and the weighted mean tardiness time. For solving this multi-objective model, we develop a fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (FMOLP) model. In this problem, a proposed FMOLP method is applied with respect to the o...

Nowadays, nurses scheduling is one of the most important challenges with which health care centers are encountered. The significance of nurses’ work quality has led researchers to be concerned about scheduling problems, which have an impact on nurses’ performance. Observing the interests of hospital and patients, providing their satisfaction, and meeting their needs are among the main objective...
متن کاملA Nurse Scheduling Model under Real Life Constraints
Background and Objectives: In this paper, a real life nurse scheduling model is described based on the conditions in Iranian hospitals such as monthly shift rotation, consecutive morning and evening shifts and consecutive evening and night shift. Methods: The developed model considers both hospital constraints and nurses’ preferences. Hospital constraints include assigning adequate qualifie...
متن کاملA fuzzy mixed-integer goal programming model for a parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times and release dates
This paper presents a new mixed-integer goal programming (MIGP) model for a parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times and release dates. Two objectives are considered in the model to minimize the total weighted flow time and the total weighted tardiness simultaneously. Due to the com-plexity of the above model and uncertainty involved in real-world scheduling probl...
