Optimizing Rehabilitation and Maintenance of Hospitals by Ahmed, Mohamed

“…The model features through five modules, (1) Database module that stores the hospitals data, (2) Backward Markov chain module that estimates the transition probability matrix, (3) Deterioration prediction module that predict the future condition of the asset, (4) Rehabilitation Cost optimization and (5) Multi-objective rehabilitation schedule optimization that conducts a tradeoff between the modified rehabilitation cost and the number of unserved patients. …”

Time-cost-quality trade-off analysis for construction projects by ElBassuony, Mahmoud

“…For the aforementioned purpose, three various Microsoft Excel based TCQT models have been developed as follows: • First, a simplified model is developed with the objective of optimizing the total duration, cost, and quality of simple construction projects utilizing the GA-based Excel add in Evolver. • Second, a stochastic model is developed with the objective of optimizing the total duration, cost, and quality of construction projects applying the PERT approach in order to consider uncertainty associated with the performance of execution options and the whole project. • Third, an advanced multi objective optimization model is developed utilizing a self-developed optimization tool having the following capabilities: 1. …”
