Abstract
Beds management is a complex problem in hospital centers. Many proposed models are based on reducing hospitalization cost and optimizing the use of resources. In this paper, a new model for bed planning is presented. This model takes into account the capacity of beds shared between two types of patients: scheduled and non-scheduled patients. Otherwise, the model manages also preventive maintenance actions during the planning horizon.
