Trauma Center Diversion Status and Process Flow

This diagram illustrates the process flow of a trauma center, including the movement to diversion status when all servers are busy. It also shows the impact of buffer size and utilization levels on system performance.

  1. 3 trauma bays Trauma center moves to diversion status once all servers are busy (incoming patients are directed to other locations) Figure 7.1.: Process flow diagram for trauma center

  2. 0.6 Probabilitythat all serversare utilized 0.5 0.4 m=1 m=2 0.3 0.2 m=3 m=5 m=10 0.1 m=20 0 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1 1.1 Implied utilization Figure 7.2.: Implied utilization vs probability of having all servers utilized

  3.

  4. Fraction of customer lost Average wait time [seconds] Figure 7.4.: Impact of waiting time on customer loss

  5. Outflow of resource 1 = Inflow of resource 2 Inflow Outflow Upstream Downstream Figure 7.5.: A serial queuing system with three resources

  6. Resource is blocked Activity completed Inflow Outflow Outflow Inflow Activity not yet completed Resource is starved Empty space for a flow unit Space for a flow unit with a flow unitin the space Figure 7.6.: The concepts of blocking and starving

  7. 6.5 min/unit 6.5 min/unit 6.5 min/unit 7 min/unit 7 min/unit 7 min/unit 6 min/unit 6 min/unit 6 min/unit Sequential system, no buffers Cycle time=11.5 minutes Sequential system, unlimited buffers Cycle time=7 minutes; inventory “explodes” 3 resources, 19.5 min/ unit each (1) (1) Horizontally pooled system Cycle time=19.5/3 minutes=6.5 minutes Sequential system, one buffer space each Cycle time=10 minutes Figure 7.7.: Flow rate compared at four configurations of a queuing system

  8. Waitingproblem Loss problem Pure waitingproblem, all customersare perfectly patient. All customers enter the process,some leave due totheir impatience Customers do notenter the process oncebuffer has reached a certain limit Customers are lostonce all servers arebusy Same if customers are patient Same if buffer size=0 Same if buffer size is extremely large Figure 7.8.: Different types of variability problems
