Designing a robust supply chain network against disruptions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Supply chains are vulnerable to disruptions at any stage of the distribution system. These disruptions can be caused by natural disasters, production problems, or labor defects. The consequences of these disruptions may ... -
Fortification of a transportation network against disruptions through maintenance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In this thesis, a methodology to fortify a transportation network by allocating resources for maintenance of critical structures (e.g., bridges and ... -
Identifying relationship between patient acuity indicators and nurse workload
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Patient classification systems are commonly used in nursing units to assess how many nursing care hours are needed to care for patients. In current practice, these systems utilize several patient acuity indicators to produce ... -
Models and algorithms for complex system optimization problems : applications to hospital layout and LED traffic signal maintenance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Due to rising healthcare costs, it is increasingly important to design health care buildings to be efficient and effective. One aspect of a healthcare facility's design is the size and layout of the building and departments. ... -
Multi-objective optimization models for surgical services planning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Surgical services constitute a major portion of overall expenses in a hospital including staff salaries, operating rooms, beds, etc. Surgery is also a ... -
Optimal routing in a high threat environment : models and algorithms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)In this thesis, we develop routing models and algorithms in a high threat environment. Although routing problems have been studied extensively in many other contexts, they are usually designed for only one objective: ... -
Prioritization of hospital orders considering cancellation probabilities
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)In a hospital laboratory premature cancellations of the test orders are driving up the laboratory running cost as they result in wasted resources and time. A test order that is cancelled during its processing results in ...
