International Journal of Logistics Systems and Management (IJLSM), Vol. 15, No. 2/3, 2013

Abstract: This paper presents three multi-objective mathematical programming models by mixed integer programming for optimal allocation of workers among supporting services in a hospital. The services include logistics, inventory management, financial management, operations management, medical analysis, etc. The optimality criteria of the problem are minimisation of operational costs of supporting services subject to some specific constraints. The constraints represent specific conditions for resource allocation in a hospital. The overall problem is formulated as a multi-criteria assignment model, where the decision variables represent the assignment of people to various jobs. Numerical examples are presented and some computational results modelled on a real data from a hospital in Lesser Poland are reported.
