- Abstract
Staff scheduling in operating rooms same as nurse scheduling is a crucial part of medical activities which are key parts of human resource planning. The staff’s satisfaction can be considered as a key objective to roster the staff in the core part of hospitals same as operating rooms. For this purpose, we address the monthly staff roster problem in the multi-operating theater to maximize staff’s preferences. In this problem, staffs have preferences such as being off for some days, being on for some shifts, etc. On the other hand, there are some requirements such as the number of staff per shift that should not be violated. Considering these practical hypotheses, an integer programming model is made concerning staff’s preferences. In this model, hard constraints for requirements, and soft constraints for staff’s preferences are defined. Also, the deviations from goals are defined as objectives according to the preferences. The multi-objective model is then converted to a single objective using the goal programming method and then is solved in GAMS software and the results are validated by using real data from a hospital located in Iran. Consequently, the computational experiments state that the method outperforms the current practice used in the hospital to optimize staff’s preferences.
