Bi-criteria appointment scheduling of patients with heterogeneous service sequences

作者:

Highlights:

• We address scheduling of different patient type with stochastic service times.

• Different heterogeneous service sequences in multi-stage facilities are considered.

• We minimize the waiting time of patients and the completion time of the facility.

• Mathematical programming, simulation, and multiobjective tabu search are used in this work.

• We provide a real industrial case-study and analyze the results.
