Step one: Research optimisation methods

understand mixed integer programming

understand branch and bound method

understand linear programming methods

Step two: Research optimisation methods used in hospitals to schedule OR's

write about what is already implemented in hospitals and describe the method

Step three: data collection

Find out what you need to implement the optimisations methods, parameters, constraits etc

Learn how to apply these techniques yourself

Find out exactly the circumstance you will investigate, for example what specific constraints will you take into account and what is your objective function

Find data that can be used for parameters and objective functions

Step four: Model the problem mathematically

Step five: categorise the techniques and evaluate them via applying them to the data and comparing optimal solutions

Figure out how to model it

Create the criterion for the choosing of the models you want to use for your data

create a review of all optimisation methods used for scheduling
