Optimal outpatient appointment system with uncertain parameters using adaptive-penalty genetic algorithm

The optimal number of doctors and appointment interval for an outpatient appointment system in a class of individual block/fixed interval are determined using an adaptive-penalty Genetic Algorithm. The length of service time for doctor consultation, the time required for the laboratory tests, and th...
