The design and operations of inpatient care facilities are typically largely historically shaped. A better match with the changing environment is often possible, and even inevitable due to the pressure on hospital budgets. Effectively organizing inpatient care requires simultaneous consideration of several interrelated planning issues. Also, coordination with upstream departments like the opera...

A computer model is built to simulate master production scheduling activities in a capacitated multi-item production system under demand uncertainty and a rolling time horizon. The output from the simulation is analyzed through statistical software. The results of the study show that forecasting errors have significant impacts on total cost, schedule instability and system service level, and th...

This paper investigates the impact of freezing the master production schedule (MPS) in multi-item single-level systems with a single resource constraint under demand uncertainty. It also examines the impact of environmental factors on the selection of MPS freezing parameters. A computer model is built to simulate master production scheduling activities in a multi-item system under a rolling tim...

Evaluation Findings Evaluators found many examples of high-quality crosscurricular projects and, when those were not present, often an academic teacher had integrated technical concepts into lessons. Staff interviewed for the evaluation acknowledged the value of an integrated curriculum and a desire to develop more of it, but admitted that they lacked either the capacity or the time to collabor...

Demand for healthcare services is growing rapidly in Australia and across the world, and rising healthcare expenditure is increasing pressure on sustainability of government-funded healthcare systems. In Australia, elective surgery waiting lists are growing and hospitals are struggling with a capacity shortage. To keep up with the rising demand, we need to be more efficient in delivering surgic...

Defining an optimal schedule for arbitrary algorithms on a network of heterogeneous machines is an NP complete problem. This paper focuses on data parallel deterministic neighborhood computer vision algorithms. This focus enables the linear time definition of a schedule which minimizes the distributed execution time by overlapping computation and communication cycles on the network. The static ...
