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.
