A sequential follower refinement algorithm for robust surgery scheduling

A Bansal, JP Richard, BP Berg… - INFORMS Journal on …, 2024 - pubsonline.informs.org
An algorithm for the two-stage robust optimization surgery-to-operating room allocation
problem is presented. The second-stage problem is an integer linear program whose …

Coordinating a bi‐level blood supply chain with interactions between supply‐side and demand‐side operational decisions

MS Moshtagh, Y Zhou, M Verma - International Transactions in …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
In most blood supply chains, blood centers and hospitals make individual decisions,
resulting in an inefficient structure of the blood supply chain, which in turn renders supply …

Solving a class of two-stage stochastic nonlinear integer programs using value functions

J Zhang, OY Özaltın, AC Trapp - Journal of Global Optimization, 2025 - Springer
We propose a level-set characterization of the value function of a class of nonlinear integer
programs with finite domain. We study the theoretical properties of this characterization and …

Stochastic optimization approaches for an operating room and anesthesiologist scheduling problem

MY Tsang, KS Shehadeh, FE Curtis… - Operations …, 2024 - pubsonline.informs.org
We propose combined allocation, assignment, sequencing, and scheduling problems under
uncertainty involving multiple operation rooms (ORs), anesthesiologists, and surgeries as …

[PDF][PDF] Mixed Integer Linear Programming Formulations for Robust Surgery Scheduling

A Bansal, JP Richard, BP Berg, YL Huang - optimization-online.org
Abstract We introduce Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) formulations for the two-
stage robust surgery scheduling problem (2SRSSP). We derive these formulations by …
