Robust Allocation of Operating Rooms with Lognormal case Durations

Please always quote using this URN: urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-58497
  • The problem of allocating operating rooms (OR) to surgical cases is a challenging task, involving both combinatorial aspects and uncertainty handling. In this article, we formulate this problem as a job shop scheduling problem, in which the job durations follow a lognormal distribution. We propose to use a cutting-plane approach to solve a robust version of this optimization problem. To this end, we develop an algorithm based on fixed-point iterations to solve the subproblems that identify worst-case scenarios and generate cut inequalities. The procedure is illustrated with numerical experiments based on real data from a major hospital in Berlin.
