Abstract
An optimum method for designing AMHTS system (Automated Multiphasic Health Testing and Services System) is proposed. In this method, the optimum system is determined by 0-1 integer programming under the given medical and economic conditions, which are specified by the user.
Fundamental factors, which should be taken into considerations in the above procedure, are as follows;
(1) number of diseases that are expected to be detected at the center.
(2) mutual priorities among the diseases.
(3) the cost.
(4) the number of persons per day.
Therefore, the performance of the resultant systems is also measured by the same indexes mentioned above.
In this paper, the optimal system design algorithm and some users' constraint conditions are discussed. Some numerical examples are also presented.
