During COVID-19, many policies were implemented by governments around the world. In Saudi Arabia, Lean Business Services introduced infectious disease modeling to help understand the impact of decisions made by the government, and also to predict the effect of future policies and decisions.
This model simulates the maternity ward in a hospital currently under construction. The purpose of the model is to support discussions related to which resources, capacity, and work methods are required on the new ward. The project was carried out for Karolinska University Hospital in the Stockholm County, Sweden.
One of the huge pharmaceutical companies employed Bayser Consulting for development of product launch strategy. Simulation modeling was applied for reconstruction of interactions between the company, doctors and patients.
Sterling Simulation consulting company was chosen to provide an agent-based marketing model for a pharmaceutical firm. The company owned two competing non-generic drugs on the same market. One drug was well established and tended to be the industry leader, and the other one was recently introduced. There were several concerns about how to obtain a useful market share for the newer drug, while maintaining or increasing the market share for the company’s drugs as a whole.
The challenge of reducing the cesarean delivery rate has been recognized by numerous researchers for years. For the first time, in research conducted for the Washington State, Alan Mills, FSA MAAA ND, a research actuary, and his colleagues reproduced this part of the United States healthcare system in a simulation model to allow the stakeholders, including health agencies, insurers, clinicians, and legislators, to test their assumptions on the model to find the right solutions.
A biotech startup, providing experimental personalized medical treatment, wanted to conduct data-driven pharmaceutical manufacturing simulation to optimize decision-making processes when delivering new products. These products were undergoing clinical trials, and the manufacturing processes remained unclear while US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval was pending. The company was short of resources, but it was crucial to produce its products as fast as possible and without failures.
Stroke causes severe disability, produces high costs for care and rehab, and its incidences are increasing due to an aging population. Thrombosis causes most strokes and if possible, should be treated with thrombolysis (not in the case of hemorrhagic strokes and after 4.5 hours have elapsed). Currently, the process of transportation and internal hospital administration causes the patient to lose valuable time. Mobile Stroke Units have been suggested as a possible improvement.
Decisions made by health care professionals require tools for planning, testing and assessment of new technologies or interventions. The complex structures, interactions and processes involved in health care, make change and innovation an ongoing challenge. Patrick Einzinger and Christoph Urach from DWH Simulation Services and Vienna University of Technology in partnership with the Austrian Association of Social Insurances (AASI) were given an opportunity to analyze public data for the purpose of critical future decision making.
Lean Business Services, a prominent Saudi company in healthcare solutions, faced the difficult task of solving overcrowding in emergency departments. By simulating different scenarios, Lean Business Services was able to analyze resource utilization in order to avoid negative effects and identify areas that could be improved.
The Sterling Simulation consulting company was hired by a pharmaceutical giant to create a supply chain model. The client was introducing one of their products to new markets and wanted to visualize the restructuring of the supply chain and how it would react to demand uncertainty. The company’s goal was to reduce lead time while maintaining fill rate and avoiding backorders or lost sales. The client wanted a flexible ‘what if’ tool for risk mitigation analysis.
