Abstract:

In many clinical laboratories span of control problems make it necessary to divide the clinical laboratory into sections (departments, job shops). A section is in fact a set of workstations where tests are performed on samples. A mathematical programming model is described which clusters workstations in such a way that the maximum idle time of staff in staff assignment periods is minimized. An example demonstrates the usefulness of the approach.
