Green port project scheduling with comprehensive efficiency consideration

TL;DR: A green project scheduling model of port construction is presented to optimize comprehensive economic and environmental efficiency and shows that a representative port in China can save 6,527 tons of standard coal, reduce 40,875 tons of CO2, and save 49 million yuan per year in the five-year implementation period.

Assessing the impact of patient prioritization on operating room schedules

TL;DR: A dynamic utility updating approach is proposed to progressively increase the utility of patients according to their time spent on the waiting list, which seems to adequately balance the advantages of scheduling patients based on their utility and the risk of causing too much delay for low priority patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

A stochastic hierarchical approach for the master surgical scheduling problem

TL;DR: This paper contributes mathematical models for this problem that consider multiple stakeholders and resources, including patients, operating rooms, surgeons, and recovery ward beds, to develop master surgical schedules that meet external waiting time targets and outperform rival models.

Green Project Planning with Realistic Multi-Objective Consideration in Developing Sustainable Port

TL;DR: Results show that the proposed approach can effectively solve the real-world multi-objective green project planning problem because the solution found by the approach is one of the Pareto optimal solutions generated by the NSGA-II.

Robust surgery loading

TL;DR: It is shown that by combining advanced optimization techniques with extensive historical statistical records on surgery durations can significantly improve the operating room department utilization, and frees a lot of operating room capacity, which may be used to perform additional surgeries.
