A genetic algorithm approach for the master surgical schedule problem

This study focuses on the problem of allocating specialties to operating rooms over a given time horizon (one week) covering the problems denoted as MSS. The objective function of the proposed model is to minimize the unmet demand and the difference between the operating room time allocate for each specialty and your demand. 14 tests were performed with 4 different scenarios of demand. The model is able to meet the proposed objectives doing an adequate allocation. In addition, the genetic algorithm have shown be capable to solve these types of problem.
