Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we propose two types of operating room scheduling models. Firstly, we formulate multiple operating rooms scheduling problem that allocates surgeries to the most suitable operating room as a mixed-integer programming problem using the duration of surgery estimated by multiple linear regression analysis. Then, we formulate a single operating room scheduling　problem that determines the sequences of surgeries as a stochastic programming problem including the duration of surgery as uncertain factor.
