• Planning and scheduling in healthcare for better care coordination: Current understanding, trending topics, and future opportunities

  Production and Operations Management · 2022 · 72 citations

  Senior authorCorresponding

  This study reviews the research on planning and scheduling in healthcare published in Production and Operations Management (POM) and other prestigious operations management journals over the past 30 years, identifies trending topics, and discusses opportunities for future research. Specifically, we categorize the capacity planning literature into three problem contexts: (a) hospital units and operating rooms, (b) outpatient clinics, and (c) broader healthcare networks. We further classify the sc…

  Problem definition: In this paper, we study a predisaster relief network design problem with uncertain demands. The aim is to determine the prepositioning and reallocation of relief supplies. Motivated by the call of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to leave no one behind, we consider three important practical aspects of humanitarian operations: shortages, equity, and uncertainty. Methodology/results: We first employ a form of robust satisficing measure…

• A critical review of planning and scheduling in steel-making and continuous casting in the steel industry

  Journal of the Operational Research Society · 2023-11-07 · 39 citations

  reviewOpen accessSenior author

  Steel-making and continuous casting (SCC) processes are considered the main bottlenecks in the steel industry. We consider planning and scheduling problems in SCC processes and provide an overview of the literature with our commentary. The planning problem has as goal to create out of customer orders production units for the various production processes. The scheduling problem assigns these production units to the production facilities over different time intervals. We review a large number of p…
