Flowshop-scheduling problems with makespan criterion: a review
S. Reza Hejazi,Soroush Saghafian +1 more
TL;DR: This paper is a complete survey of flowshop-scheduling problems and contributions from early works of Johnson of 1954 to recent approaches of metaheuristics of 2004 and surveys some exact methods, constructive heuristics and developed improving metaheuristic and evolutionary approaches for this problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patient Streaming as a Mechanism for Improving Responsiveness in Emergency Departments
TL;DR: The results suggest that the concept of streaming can indeed improve patient flow, but only in some situations, and a new “virtual-streaming” patient flow design for EDs is proposed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Multi-criteria Group Decision Making Using A Modified Fuzzy TOPSIS Procedure
Soroush Saghafian,S.R. Hejazi +1 more
TL;DR: A modified fuzzy technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (modified fuzzy TOPSIS) for the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem when there is a group of decision makers is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Operations research/management contributions to emergency department patient flow optimization: Review and research prospects
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of OR/OM on improving the performance of hospital Emergency Departments (EDs) has been discussed, including improving a wide range of processes involving patient flow from the initial call to the ED through disposition, discharge home, or admission to the hospital.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complexity-Augmented Triage: A Tool for Improving Patient Safety and Operational Efficiency
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that adding an up-front estimate of patient complexity to conventional urgency-based classification can substantially improve both patient safety and operational efficiency.
