Ambulance Deployment and Shift Scheduling: An Integrated Approach
Emergency medical response providers’ primary responsibility is to deploy an adequate number of ambulances in a manner that will yield the best service to a constituent population. In this paper we develop a two-stage integrated solution for complex ambulance deployment and crew shift scheduling. In the first stage we develop a dynamic expected coverage model to determine the minimum number of ...
متن کاملAn Integrated Approach of Fuzzy Quality Function Deployment and Fuzzy Multi-Objective Programming Tosustainable Supplier Selection and Order Allocation
The emergence of sustainability paradigm has influenced many research disciplines including supply chain management. It has drawn the attention of manufacturing companies’ CEOs to incorporate sustainability in their supply chain and manufacturing activities. Supplier selection problem, as one of the main problems in supply chain activities, is also combined with sustainable development where tr...
متن کاملCompletable Scheduling: An Integrated Approach to Planning and Scheduling
The plannln g problem has traditionally been treated separately from the scheduling problem. However, as more realistic domains are tackled, it becomes evident that the problem of deciding on an ordered set of tasks to achieve a set of goals cannot be treated independently of the problem of actually allocating resources to the tasks. Doing so would result in losing the robustness and flexibilit...
متن کاملAmbulance Deployment for Maximum Survival
This paper proposes new location models for emergency medical service stations. The models are generated by incorporating a survival function into existing covering models. A survival function is a monotonically decreasing function of the response time of an EMS vehicle to a patient that returns the probability of survival for the patient. The survival function allows for the calculation of tan...
متن کاملModelling ambulance deployment with CARMA
CARMA is process-algebra influenced language for the quantitative modelling of collective adaptive systems which involve collaboration and coordination. These systems consist of multiple components that interact to achieve certain goals and that adapt to changes in the environment. As a case study for the application of CARMA, this paper presents an ambulance deployment system where ambulances ...
