Improving Wait Times to Care for Individuals with Multimorbidities and Complex Conditions Using Value Stream Mapping
Background Recognizing the significant impact of wait times for care for individuals with complex chronic conditions, we applied a LEAN methodology, namely – an adaptation of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to meet the needs of people with multiple chronic conditions and to improve wait times without additional resources or funding. Methods Over an 18-month time period, staff applied a patient-cen...
متن کاملEstimation of Concrete Paving Construction Productivity Using Discrete Event Simulation
The objective of this paper was to study and optimize the concrete paving operations taking place in the reconstruction project of Interstate 74 using simulation. To achieve this objective, field data were collected during construction, and were then used to determine adequate probabilistic density functions for the activities duration and to validate a developed simulation model. Upon validati...
متن کاملModeling Cross-Docking Operations using Discrete Event Simulation
Cross-docking is a distribution system where products transported from warehouses to destinations are unloaded temporarily at intermediate facilities, and loaded onto outbound trucks to be shipped to their final destination. The complexity of cross-docking operations has been considered a problem of great interest to researchers and practitioners in the areas of Scheduling, Optimization, Supply...
متن کاملModeling and Improving Emergency Department Systems using Discrete Event Simulation
This paper describes a discrete event simulation study of an emergency department at Dr. Georges-L. Dumont Hospital in Moncton (Canada). The objective of the study was to reduce patient waiting times and to improve overall service delivery and system throughput. As patient waiting times are linked to resource availability, a number of alternatives were designed based on adding resource scenario...
