    Modeling lot sizing and scheduling in practice
    ( 2015) Luís Guimarães ; Gonçalo Reis Figueira ; Pedro Amorim ; Bernardo Almada-Lobo
    Lot sizing and scheduling by mixed integer programming has been a hot research topic in the last 20 years. Researchers have been trying to develop stronger formulations, as well as to incorporate real-world requirements from different applications. In this paper we illustrate some of these requirements and show howmodels have been adapted and extended. Motivation comes from different industries, especially from process and fast moving consumer goods industries.

    An operating theater planning decision support system
    ( 2013) Gomes,C ; Sperandio,F ; Peles,A ; José Luís Borges ; António Carvalho Brito ; Bernardo Almada-Lobo
    The operating theater is the biggest hospital budget expenditure. The usage of surgery related resources and its intrinsic planning must be carefully devised in order to achieve better operational performance. However, from long to short term planning, the decision processes inherent to the operating theater are often the subject of empiricism. Moreover, the current hospital information systems available in Portuguese public hospitals lack a decision support system component, which could assist in achieving better planning solutions. This work reports the development of a centralized system for the operating theater planning to support decision-making tasks of surgeons, chief specialty managers, and hospital administration. Its main components concern surgery scheduling, operating theater's resource allocation and performance measurement. The enhancement of the planning processes, the increase of policy compliance, and the overall performance of the operating theater compared to the former methodologies are also discussed. © 2013, IGI Global.
