SUMMARY:Comparing services: why hospitals should call
DESCRIPTION:About the speaker: \nGer Koole is full professor of business analytics and optimization at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He is also founder and lead scientist of the call center workforce management company CCmath. He obtained his PhD at Leiden University in 1992 with theoretical work on the control of queueing systems. \nBefore moving to Amsterdam he held the postdoc positions at CWI and INRIA. Over the years\, his interests moved to applications of optimization under uncertainty\, especially in call centers\, health care and revenue management. \nAbstract: \nIn this talk\, I will make a comparison between call centers and hospitals\, from the point of view of operations management. \nI will show how advanced prediction and optimization techniques impact call center operations and how academia and industry interact to move the field forward. We will compare this with the current state of our health care system\, identify similarities and differences\, and discuss what blocks further improvements in quality and efficiency. \n  \nEURO Working Group on Practice of OR/Practitioners’ Forum past and planned activities are available to the Forum members\, as well as the wider public. Register as a member for free\, to get the regular updates on all activities: EWG POR Member registration page \nThe recordings and details from previous webinars are available here. Follow the Forum on Twitter and LinkedIN \, and feel free to get in touch.
