its not graded assignment question c-5. Based on the current scheduling practices with the 50% addition to bed capacity, what is the maximum number of hernia repairoperations that the hospital could perform each week without exceeding its capacity limits? (Hint. Consider the capacities of the beds,operating rooms and surgeons.)Maximum number of operations per week Case 5-3 (Algo)Shouldice Hospital in Canada is widely known for one thing-hernia repair! In fact, that is the only operation it performs, and itperforms a great many of them. Over the past two decades this small 78-bed hospital has averaged 6,040 operations annually. Lastyear, it had a record year and performed nearly 6,540 operations.A hernia repair operation at Shouldice Hospital is performed by one of the 12 full-time surgeons assisted by one of seven part-timeassistant surgeons. The first operations begin at 7:30 AM each day, Monday through Friday. Surgeons generally take about one hourto prepare for and perform each hernia operation, and they operate on an average of at most four patients per day. This four patientper day limit on the average number of operations performed per surgeon has been found to be the best operating level for thehospital as it takes into account the time the surgeons need for patient exams and consultations, updating medical charts, writingreports, traveling to professional conferences, vacations, and other times when they are performing other duties or are not available toperform surgeries. A given surgeon may perform more than four surgeries on a given day, but the average cannot exceed four withouthaving adverse effects on overall hospital operations. The surgeons' day ends at 4 p.m. Although hernia repair operations areperformed only five days a week, the remainder of the hospital is in operation continuously to attend to recovering patients.The table below is a room-occupancy table for the existing system. Each row in the table follows the patients who checked in on agiven day. The columns indicate the number of patients in the hospital on a given day.CHECK-IN DAYMondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFridaySaturdaySundayTotalMONDAY262652TUESDAY WEDNESDAY2626262626267878BEDS REQUIREDTHURSDAY26262678FRIDAY262652SATURDAY2626SUNDAY2626For example, the first row of the table shows that 26 people checked in on Monday and were in the hospital for Monday, Tuesday, andWednesday. By summing the column of the table for Wednesday, we see that there are 78 patients staying in the hospital that day.The medical facilities at Shouldice consist of three operating rooms, a patient recovery room, a laboratory, and six examination rooms.Now look at the effect of increasing the number of beds by 50 percent.
