Abstract
This paper presents a methodological framework based on the approaches of data warehousing and of knowledge discovery in database, which are dedicated to hospital supply chain, in order to plan and schedule activities and resources (financial, physical and human resources). Our study mainly focuses on the operating theatre, and our approach is based on a methodology framework centering on patients' flow path-progression (sequences of activities), and the description of each activity (necessary resources and duration of activities). This study contributes to the combination of data warehousing and data mining approaches in the hospital supply chain in order to automatically identify patients' trajectory and estimate tasks duration according to patients' profile.
