This paper proposes a new resource allocation model which is based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) and concerns systems with several homogeneous units operating under supervision of a central unit. The previous studies in DEA literature deal with reallocating/allocating organizational resource to improve performance or maximize the total amount of outputs produced by individual units. In tho...

The Colorado River basin is facing a growing water shortage. Under fixed set of supply and demand conditions, we establish linear programming model based on time to solve the problem allocation. Take as objective function, get distribution coefficient α, β obtain from Hoover dam Glen Canyon dam. Finally it concluded that optimal function obtained when α 0.8 1.0. Dam 6947519530 m3 9309140232 m3.

Human resources are of central importance for executing and supervising business processes. An optimal resource allocation can dramatically improve undesirable consequences of resource shortages. However, existing approaches for resource allocation have some limitations, e.g., they do not consider concurrent process instances or loops in business processes, which may greatly alter resource requ...

Health outcomes data are a major focus of the Australian health policy debate and the national research agenda. There is general agreement that health outcomes data should be collected. Outcomes data have been shown to be a powerful stimulant to service quality at the clinical level. It is argued here that policy which places health outcomes data at the centre of resource allocation and competi...

the problem we investigate deals with the optimal assignment of resources to the activities of a stochastic project network. we seek to minimize the expected cost of the project include sum of resource utilization costs and lateness costs. we assume that the work content required by the activities follows an exponential distribution. the decision variables of the model are the allocated resourc...

background priority setting in healthcare is a key determinant of health system performance. however, there is no widely accepted priority setting evaluation framework. we reviewed literature with the aim of developing and proposing a framework for the evaluation of macro and meso level healthcare priority setting practices.   methods we systematically searched econlit, pubmed, cinahl, and ebsc...

background: assessment of hospitals’ performance in achieving its goals is a basic necessity. measuring the efficiency of hospitals in order to boost resource productivity in healthcare organizations is extremely important. the aim of this study was to measure technical efficiency and determining status of resource allocation in some university hospitals, in tehran, iran.   methods : this study...
