When surgical patients leave an operating room, they go to the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). The PACU is shared with two or more operating rooms. It has a limited capacity for holding patients. A problem for the operating room scheduler is to schedule operations such that the PACU is not requested to take on more patients than it can handle. The solution is to develop work tours for operating time/PACU time pairs spread throughout the day and employ a binary integer programming formulation that not only obeys the PACU capacity constraint but also handles other scheduling constraints.
