Abstract :
All, such as industrial production (Manufacturing companies), health units are hierarchical at the level of organization. This arrangement permits them to response efficiently to an event in occurrence, such as a patient whom appropriate care has to be dispensed. The quick reaction of the medical unit when faced with a problem is not only an indicator of its reactivity, but also an indicator of its performance. In this article, we propose to model the reaction of a medical unit in relationship to parameters, notably the reference periods of the different levels at which decisions are made. We define and express subsequently, the wait times which is a source of delay in the treatment process of a patient from when he arrives. Then, we propose an algorithm which minimizes the wait time.
