APPLYING LEAN PRODUCTION SYSTEM PHILOSOPHY TO REDUCE PATIENT WAITING TIME IN HEALTHCARE SERVICES: SIMULATION-BASED OPTIMIZATION AND VALIDATIONS THROUGH EXPERIMENT

Value stream mapping (VSM) is an initial and critical tool for deploying lean concepts in the manufacturing and service sectors, including hospitals.Therefore, the aim of this research is to analyze the current working environment of a radiology department, identify the wastes in the operations by mapping the current patient flow, and test the best

Abstract RNA-Seq data are utilized for biological applications and decision making for the classification of genes.A lot of works in recent time are focused on reducing the dimension of RNA-Seq data.Dimensionality reduction approaches have been proposed in the transformation of these data.In this study, a novel optimized hybrid investigative approa

The heat and mass exchange of CO2 in a vertical U-tube under supercritical pressure was simulated.The effects of the geometry of the bend area, The center arc radius of the bend area and the different bend orientations on the flow heat transfer of supercritical CO2 in the U-tube were analyzed.The results show that in the bend area, the flow is affe

An analysis is provided of how the writers who told stories in the last third of the XIXth century faced the portrayal offered by linguistic reality.To be specific, the object of study can by summed up as follows: to examine the procedure followed by Jean Rangehood Switch Baptiste Daskonagerre, Jean Baptiste Elizanburu, Resurreccion Maria Azkue and
