Abstract :
Operating room (OR) is the most resource-intensive place in a hospital as well as the bottlenecks of resource and patient flow during treatment process. A reasonable operating room scheduling plan can help to develop the utilization of operating room and increase patients¿ satisfaction. But most of the domestic hospitals haven¿t inducted scientific administration methods to build their operating room schedules in real-life applications. In this paper, we develop a fuzzy multi-objective programming model to optimize the OR scheduling, so as to gain the optimal results in mathematics. And we also provide a numerical example to test the model.
