Cukurova University School of Medicine Organization Chart-Optimization and Simulation: Preliminary Step

Abstract

A preliminary investigation is made to form work flow charts about activities that are carried out in Cukurova University Faculty of Medicine (CUFM) by collecting meta-information that might be needed. According to the data from literature it is noteworthy that many of the faculties in Turkey have work flow charts but there is not any optimization study about work flow organisation scheme. Due to this, a project, consisting of four stages, which are information gathering, forming work flow charts according to the gathered information and control of these charts by relevant experts, forming of simulation models by putting the problems forward, and lastly using optimization modelling method, is prepared. In this study, which covers first and second stages, difficulties that are encountered, advantages and disadvantages of work flow charts are presented.
