Marelise Hattingh

ABSTRACT

This presentation will be about the work completed during this year at Sint Maartenskliniek in Nijmegen. This project pertains to developing a prototype scheduling application with the aim to create a roster for the orthopaedic surgeons for a period of x-weeks by taking in consideration several operational constraints as well the effect the schedule has on resources at downstream departments (e.g. bed usage / x-rays).
