A simulation-optimization approach for the surgery scheduling problem: a case study considering stochastic surgical times

This work studies the scheduling of elective procedures, with stochastic durations, in surgery rooms. Given a set of rooms with limited availability and a set of procedures, it must be decided in which room and when each procedure will be performed. The problem’s objectives are to maximize the use o...
