Introduction: The current paper develops a pioneering approach to the human factors of picking operations, which are addressed from a cognitive perspective. Materials and methods: The model thus contributed is established through a qualitative methodology which, based on several theories, is articulated and applied to the real situation of a dry f...

Introducción: Este documento desarrolla un enfoque pionero sobre los factores humanos de las operaciones semimecanizadas de selección, las cuales se abordan desde una perspectiva cognitiva. Materiales y métodos: El modelo aportado se establece a través de una metodología cualitativa, la cual, a partir de varias teorías, es articulada y aplicada a l...

This work studies the scheduling of elective procedures, with stochastic durations, in surgery rooms. Given a set of rooms with limited availability and a set of procedures, it must be decided in which room and when each procedure will be performed. The problem's objectives are to maximize the use of the operating rooms and to minimize the delays i...

The current paper develops a pioneering approach to the human factors of picking operations, which are addressed from a cognitive perspective. The model is established through a qualitative methodology, which based on several theories, is articulated and applied to the real situation of a dry foods company. The results combine the cognitive archite...

Introduction: The performance of a surgery service is highly impacted by its schedule. This study measured the impact of the artificial variability caused by a manual scheduling of surgeries at “Hospital Universitario Mayor - Méderi (HUM)” (Colombia). The hypotheses were that the proposed algorithm is able to (i) reduce daily service variation, (ii...
