Abstract

The sterilization of medical devices in hospitals takes an important place in the fight against infections. We propose a simulation model of a real sterilization service. Our aim is to study the impact of smoothing the arrival of medical devices at the sterilization service on the performance of the system. We show that modifying this arrival process significantly improves the performance of the system.
