Healthcare facilities, particularly outpatient clinics, are crucial for local communities' medical
needs. To enhance their performance, these facilities need to optimize their operations. Key …

ABSTRACT A real-world topological network consists of multiple entrances along its source
nodes. Routing appropriate percentages of pedestrians from these entrances to the …

Various factors, such as process bottlenecks, un-optimized production schedules and
imbalance employees' working time, can complicate production processes and operations …

Using the conservation of mass concept, a novel controlled flow methodology based on a
linear programing problem is developed for computing the optimal flow rates for a multi-exit …

A speed-density model can be utilised to efficiently flow pedestrians in a network. However,
how each model measures and optimises the performance of the network is rarely reported …

An M/G/c/c state dependent network is a quantitative model for replicating and analyzing the
behavior of occupants travelling through a network. The model, however, assumes that its …

It has been shown that, under some service policies, a queueing network can be unstable
even if the load of every station is less than one. Although the stability of queueing systems …

In emergency cases, people are typically recommended to use the shortest route to
minimize their travelling time. This recommendation may however not yield the optimal …
