Analytics Scheduling patients at the outpatient clinic
In this research we develop a model that prescribes the (near) optimal appointment date for a patient at the moment this patient makes his request at the outpatient clinic. In order to differentiate between different types of patients, such as new patients, control patients and several grades of priorities, we distinguish two categories of patients. One category is characterised by a maximum re...
متن کاملPerformance assessment of appointment system in managing outpatients’ waiting time in a general hospital: A Case study
Background: Appointment scheduling system is a critical component in controlling patients’ waiting time, so can increase the efficiency and timely access to health services. It is also an important determinant of patient satisfaction. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship of using a scheduling system and outpatients’ waiting time in a general teaching hospital in Tehran, Iran. M...
متن کاملThe Finite Horizon Economic Lot Scheduling in Flexible Flow Lines
This paper addresses the common cycle multi-product lot-scheduling problem in flexible flow lines (FFL) where the product demands are deterministic and constant over a finite planning horizon. Objective is minimizing the sum of setup costs, work-in-process and final products inventory holding costs per time unite while satisfying the demands without backlogging. This problem consists of a combi...
متن کاملAn Optimal NPV Project Scheduling with Fixed Work Content and Payment on Milestones
Project scheduling Net present value We consider a project scheduling problem with permitted tardiness and discrete time/resource trade-offs under maximum net present value objective. In this problem, a project consists of a set of sequential phases such that each phase contains one or more sub-projects including activities interrelated by finish-start-type precedence relations with a t...
متن کاملMarket Adaptive Control Function Optimization in Continuous Cover Forest Management
Economically optimal management of a continuous cover forest is considered here. Initially, there is a large number of trees of different sizes and the forest may contain several species. We want to optimize the harvest decisions over time, using continuous cover forestry, which is denoted by CCF. We maximize our objective function, the expected present value, with consideration of stochastic p...
