- Abstract
- Assuming a task-based approach to model the demand for the nurses in the operating rooms, the paper proposes a bicriteria mixed-integer approach to build surgical teams with high affinities while minimizing the nurses’ waiting time. The suggested model builds nurse rosters considering their availabilities, legal constraints and affinities with the operating surgeons. The model is solved using an -constraint approach and is tested on instances of a Belgian hospital. From the experiments, it appeared that the 2 objectives considered are conflicting. Relaxing the criterion of the affinities has an impact on the waiting time.
