The abstract follows.
Scheduling of surgeries is a complex process that involves simultaneous
scheduling of not only several resources (staff, room, equipment,
supplies, instruments), but also building flexibility in
capacity-reservation policies to accommodate most types of patient
classes. In the case of trauma centers this complexity increases even
more due to the need for dynamic rescheduling of elective surgeries as
emergency surgeries arrive randomly. In practice, these issues are
tackled every day in a 'non-optimal / heuristic' way. Recent research in
this area has shown the potential of implementing modified priority
rules. In contrast to trauma centers, ambulatory surgery centers only
perform elective surgeries and have a lower cost structure. Their
profitability is therefore dependent upon efficient use of capacity.
Recent research has modeled these as Hybrid Flow Shops and solved the
capacity planning problem using easy to implement heuristics. This talk
will also discuss some new avenues of operating room scheduling that
have not yet been researched by academics.
The next talk in our series will be:
Tami Tamir (Reichman Uni) | June 21 | Scheduling with Machine-Dependent
Priority Lists.
