A Simulation Based Approximate Dynamic Programming Approach to Multi-class, Multi-resource Surgical Scheduling

The thesis focuses on a model that seeks to address patient scheduling step of the surgical scheduling process to determine the number of surgeries to perform in a given day. Specifically, provided a master schedule that provides a cyclic breakdown of total OR availability into specific daily alloca...
