碩士 === 東海大學 === 工業工程學系 === 89 === Call upon to the quick change and diverse environment, Holonic Manufacturing System(HMS) has been proposed as a new framework to be the future manufacturing system. The basic idea in HMS is that each holon can organize, request, and response in an autonomous way and end up with the results in a highly cooperative notion. The nature of hospital management is similar to the highly distributed system in manufacture regime. And, due to the NHI design, each hospital dose face with the tough cost management issue. Starting with clinical pathway, the type of resource could be assigned preliminarily. However, the assignment of the particular resource has to be done along with the pathway. How to accurately log the utilization of each medical resource (e.g. medical doctors, operating room, patient beds and nurse)and rearrange the resource in order to achieve the better utilization and thus decreasing the operation cost is the main thesis of this research. In this research, we have developed a HMS based system analysis framework. And, a simulation model, based on the real data, is constructed to verify the application of this approach.
