Multi-objective scheduling of operating theatre considering desiderata of surgical team

Primary tabs

The daily scheduling of an operating theatre is a highly constrained problem. Consequently, it is difficult to find the best solution, or even high quality solutions, in a reasonable time. We have compared two models that take many of the constraints on human and material resources encountered in real life into account. The performance of these two models, using mixed-integer and constraint programming respectively, were compared to determine which coped better with these constraints.
