How to optimize the scheduling of patients in order to use the necessary infrastructure, i.e. infusion chairs optimally.
Problem Parameters 1:
- There are \(T = 40\) time slots of 15 minutes
- We have 23 infusion chairs for patient treatment
- We have 8 different types of patients
- Each patient type has a demand (number of patients) and treatment length (expressed in 15 minute slots)
- No treatments can start during lunch break
- At most 2 treatments can start in each time slot.
Yet Another Mathprogramming Consultant provides a comprehensive treatment of the problem. Here I will focus on a Mixed Integer Programming ‘grid approach’.
