In this paper, we survey the primary research on the theory and applications of
distributionally robust optimization (DRO). We start with reviewing the modeling power and …

This paper provides a comprehensive review of Appointment Scheduling (AS) in healthcare
service while we propose appointment scheduling problems and various applications and …

Elective surgery patients have surgery in the operating room (OR), and then recover in one
or more downstream recovery units for several consecutive hours or days after surgery …

This article introduces a bespoke risk averse stochastic programming approach for
performing a strategic level assessment of hospital capacity (QAHC). We include stochastic …

In the downstream supply chain of petroleum products, the logistics planning optimization is
a crucial issue that not only involves the inventory management of oil depots to stabilize …

In this paper, we study the decision process of assigning elective surgery patients to
available surgical blocks in multiple operating rooms (OR) under random surgery durations …

In the present study, a single machine scheduling problem with job release dates is
considered, where the job processing time is depicted by an ambiguity set, with the mean …

We address a routing and appointment scheduling problem with uncertain service and travel
times arising from home service practice. Specifically, given a set of customers within a …

Operations in areas of importance to society are frequently modeled as mixed-integer linear
programming (MILP) problems. While MILP problems suffer from combinatorial complexity …

In this paper, we consider a decision-maker who wants to determine a subset of locations
from a given set of candidate sites to open facilities and accordingly assign customer …
