The transportation processes for patients, personnel, and material in large and complex maximum-care hospitals with many departments can consume significant resources and thus induce substantial logistics costs. These costs are largely determined by the allocation of the different departments...

We present a detailed analysis of the patient and resource scheduling problemin rehabilitation hospitals. In practice, the predominantly therapeutical treatmentsand activities which are prescribed for the patients are typically scheduled manually.This leads to rigid and inefficient schedules...

This paper presents a linear programming approach to analyze and optimize flow lines with limited buffer capacities and stochastic processing times. The basic idea is to solve a huge but simple linear program that models an entire simulation run of a multi-stage production process in discrete...
