| Abstract: | This thesis analyzes how the stochastic factors, namely surgery duration variability, emergency patient arrivals, and late starts, impact OR scheduling at Hospital X, using real operational data from elective and emergency surgeries. To address these issues, the thesis proposes data-driven strategies: reducing late starts through better preoperative coordination, adopting hybrid OR allocation models for emergency cases, and using predictive models to estimate surgery durations more accurately. These insights aim to help Hospital X optimize OR utilization, reduce overtime, and enhance overall scheduling efficiency. |
