Queue analysis of public healthcare system to reduce waiting time using flexsim 6.0

Abstract

Public healthcare is a health service facility from the government at a low cost. The problem is the long queue, which makes long patients’ waiting times. The patients are waiting for a maximum of more than 3 hours in the general polyclinic. Besides, the registration counter is almost busy all the time. The utilization is about 96.96%. Therefore, the objective of this research is to reduce the patients’ waiting time using the simulation method. Flexsim 6.0 software is employed to develop the public healthcare system and also develop some alternatives to improve the problem. The simulation model has been verified and validated. The result shows the waiting time is decreased by more than 80% by adding the resource in the registration counter. For managerial insight, this research could help the public healthcare system in satisfying the patients.

Hangar Utility Simulation as a Traffic Flow Density Scenario in Giwangan Market Yogyakarta

“…Antrian timbul disebabkan oleh kebutuhan akan layanan melebihi kemampuan (kapasitas) pelayanan atau fasilitas layanan, sehingga pengguna fasilitas yang tiba tidak bisa segera mendapat layanan disebabkan kesibukan layanan [7]. Waktu tunggu yang tinggi berdampak merugikan pada kepuasan pelanggan [8]. Simulasi yang dikembangkan pada penelitian ini untuk mengukur performansi sistem yang diestimasi dari model simulasi yaitu rata-rata waktu tempuh aktual kendaraan-kendaraan di dalam sistem tersebut [9].…”

The Application of Process Simulation Software Flexsim in Textile Study Program

“…FlexSim program provides virtual environment with the ability to simulate any process with as much information as the user needs FlexSim simulations are commonly applied in areas such as manufacturing [1], warehousing [2] distribution of goods and products, materials processing [3], etc. They can also be easily adapted to simulate human resource logistics, e. g. in healthcare [4] or other service areas, due to their flexible and virtual design. Often, simulation models are quite abstract, because they are projected to answer a specific question or solve a specific problem.…”
