Waiting time distributions and national targets for elective surgery in UK: theoretical modelling and duration analysis
Waiting times for elective surgery constitute a key performance indicator for the NHS. The principal policy response has been to introduce maximum waiting time targets against which performance is measured and rewarded. The aim of this thesis is to shed light on the mechanism of patients’ …

Prediction of waiting time for entities in independent and merged queues using Markov chain and machine learning techniques
… factor in making profit and extending business. Waiting time has become one of the most critical features in measuring the performance of systems; managers try to predict and minimize this factor. On the other hand, any system can have different customers. Thus, defining priorities can increase …

Assessing the impact of a waiting time survey on reducing waiting times in primary care clinics in Cape Town, South Africa
Objective: A waiting time survey (WTS), conducted in 2007 at 94% of clinics in Cape Town, measured length of patient waiting times (WT) for services and provided recommendations to shorten waiting times. Whether subsequent implementation of these recommendations occurred was unknown, hence a study …

Branching process models for cancer evolution: overview and an application to colorectal cancer initiation
… particular, we are interested in determining the waiting time to each type in the network, employing an approximation of the process by its large time limit. We first present a literature review of results on large time limits and classify the dynamics of branching processes by their mean value …

Efficient buffer design algorithms for production line profit maximization
… production lines with an additional maximum part waiting time constraint. A nonlinear programming approach is adopted to solve the optimization problem. Two necessary modifications are proposed to improve the accuracy of the existing loop evaluation method before optimization of loops is studied. …
