Abstract
Many hospital departments have the unique problem that they have to get all of their work done on the day it is ordered, but have no control over demand. Methodologies which are readily understandable to Finance and Management Engineering professionals are presented to determine, under a number of policies concerning wage rates, fringe benefits, overtime, fixed or variable staffing and staff size, the expected productivity and weekly budgets.Keywords
