Abstract: 

This article proposes a modelisation and a resolution of a problem of resource pooling in a hospital context. This problem is an extension of the Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem: the Multi-Site RCPSP with resource pooling in a multisite environment. This extension considers new constraints for the RCPSP like transportation times and choice of the site where tasks are executed. A linear program of this problem is given. Three resolution methods are described: local search, simulated annealing and Iterated Local Search with two different acceptance criteria: simulated annealing type acceptance criterion and better acceptance criterion. We compare the results obtained with each method. ILS with simulated annealing type acceptance criterion gives the best results.

Keywords: 

RCPSP, multi-Site, scheduling, transportation time, resource pooling, metaheuristic.
