Ant colony optimisation of a community pharmacy dispensing process using coloured petri-net simulation and uk pharmacy in-field data

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

Projects that have focused on reliability aspects of dispensing have included: an FMEA project based in community pharmacies and a sociotechnical probabilistic risk assessment (ST-PRA) of the community pharmacy dispensing process. Previous work of the authors has included developing a CPN simulation model of community pharmacies,18,19 capable of evaluating both pharmacy reliability and efficiency in the same model. Optimisation method Once the CPN simulation model of a pharmacy was constructed, the question arose of how best to set up the pharmacy. This paper applies the Min-Max Ant System (MMAS) ant . . .
