Abstract: | The authors address a design and management problem in a health care centre where a set of services, required by one or more categories of users in different but predetermined sequences, are provided. They present a methodology that interactively uses system simulation, estimation of target and optimisation to calculate and valiadate the optimal configuration of servers. Such a methodology constitutes the core of an effective decision support system for health care managers. |
