“…The proposed space search procedure has been implemeted within the framework of SpaceSearcher, java based tool for exectuion and visualization of problem-solving algorithms (Sormaz, Dusan and Rajaraman, Srinivas 2003). The tool has been applied on variety of problems in manufacturing (Šormaz and Rajaraman 2008). The tool implements generic search algorithms while problem specific state transition and evaluation has to be done for each problem model for patient This research imports the SpaceSearcher library into its worksapce to use the algorithms, but it provides state representation, state trnasition, and state evaluation metohds.…”

Resource allocation is one of the major problems in a healthcare system. The problem gets worse during a disaster situation like a pandemic. The demand is high, and the resources are limited, this puts a question on which patient should be admitted. This research focuses on increasing the number of patient admissions by deciding who should be admitted based on the patient's severity and length of stay. In the research, the patient has a fixed length of stay and if a patient is rejected, he/she is rejected forever. The research focuses on one critical resource, and it needs to be available to admit the patient. The daily capacity of resources is fixed. The demand during the pandemic is dynamic, so this research solves the problem using space search optimization which is one of the techniques of dynamic programming. The research uses depth-first and breadth-first space search algorithms. The experiments with randomized data were executed to see the effect of available capacity on the number of admitted patients. This research shows that space search algorithms are useful techniques for the optimization of resources and patients during a pandemic.

“…the automated selection of machining parameters [5], automated discovery of typical process routes [6] or selecting "optimal" process plans [7]. The researchers usually either loosely state their objectives or feature explicit, even multi-criteria, objective functions [8] with regard to the specific planning problem at hand. Denkena et al [9] provide research touching on a wider range of relevant criteria regarding technological and business considerations.…”

In order to rationalize process planning activities or to improve process planning outcomes, various process planning approaches with different degrees of computerized support and automation have been established. Ranging from general to very specialized approaches to specific problems, these approaches have specific advantages and drawbacks. When designing new approaches as well as selecting existing ones for application in the field, their properties have to be considered comprehensively. However, existing research only selectively touches on the objectives regarding the planning process or the quality of information generally requested from process plans. This paper presents the synthesis of a comprehensive process planning assessment framework, including planning process and outcome related criteria, based on an extensive literature review.
