This research presents a compensated fuzzy logic system that integrates an interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (IT2FLS) with the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to model the turning process. First, an IT2FLS is elicited to model the turning process by mapping its input variables to the cutting force and the surface quality. Second, the GMM is incorpora...
In order to provide an integrated approach to improve healthcare logistics. This paper integrated the analysis of logistics decisions made at the three hierarchical levels with the problem analysis and improvement suggestions. Following a thorough analysis of the problematic logistics decisions, alternative decisions were suggested to improve the c...
Six Sigma is used heavily in various industrial sectors, yet no noticeable applications are seen in healthcare logistics. This paper reveals the special case of healthcare logistics where cost reduction is not the only factor considered in project selection; performance and criticality of each item in the logistics system are of high importance as...
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present the process followed to control records in a Jordanian private community hospital as an ISO 9001:2008 standard requirement.
Design/methodology/approach
Under the hospital quality council’s supervision, the quality management and development office staff were responsible for designing, planning and im...
Spare parts are very essential in most industrial companies. They are characterized by their large number and their high impact on the companies’ operations whenever needed. Therefore companies tend to analyze their spare parts demand and try to estimate their future consumption. Nevertheless, they face difficulties in figuring out an optimal forec...
This paper presents a multi-criterion critical-to-life classification technique to supplement the cost and usage measures that are normally employed in hospital inventory management. A system dynamics model was developed employing (R, s, S) inventory control approach for a US private sector healthcare supply chain. Extensive simulation analyses wer...
In managing healthcare logistics, cost is not the only
factor to be considered. The level of items’ criticality used in patient
care services plays an important role as well. A stock-out incident of
a high critical item could threaten a patient's life. In this paper, the
DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) methodology is
used to drive im...
In this paper, a system dynamics model of a hospital logistics system is developed to evaluate different inventory management techniques. The paper introduces a multi-criteria inventory classification method that takes into account the criticality, cost, and usage value of items. Based on the model, extensive simulations were conducted to evaluate...
