Capacity Decision

The operations management is a multidisciplinary field that investigates, for instance, the design, management and processes improvement focused on the development, production, distribution and delivery of products and services, encompassing activities such as the implementation of policies, making quota decisions, identification and problem solving, response to uncertainty, among others. Regarding the resources dimensioning in hospitals, the Brazilian scenario is limited to legislative instruments that assume a prior and added sizing. This chapter uses a discrete event simulation tool to set the amount of operation rooms needed for patient care in an emergency department, so that emergency patients have guaranteed compliance, minimizing the cancellation of elective surgeries because of this type of demand. As a result, it was found that the minimum amount established by normative instruments was not appropriate to the specific requirements of the organization.

System Time

Discrete event simulation is used to evaluate a novel configuration of the exit roller in the composure area of security checkpoints, which is designed to address the failures of the current exit roller configuration. The paper presents in detail the conceptual modeling of a two-lane system with the current configuration, and an additional model, featuring the new design in one of the lanes. The second model is used to evaluate statistically whether there is any reduction in the passengers’ system time from directing the passengers to the lane having the new design, based on the number of items passengers carry. Lastly, we perform an analysis to examine the range of arrival rates for which a single lane, featuring the new design, could replace a traditional two-lane system.
