Abstract

Abstract: The assignment rules are presented by researching system data information with a large Chinese medicine pharmacy sorting system as an object. Based on simulation technology, the system model is presented; the system operation time, cost, efficiency, and assigned laws and human resources configuration as well as many other factors affecting the performance of the system are analyzed. Based on the analysis of the original system, three optimization schemes are designed and compared. The simulation results show that, during the same simulation period, the reallocation of human resources can reduce the economic cost, but it has little improvement on the system processing time and local balance; on the basis of the quantity of human resources, adding the conveying equipment has a good effect on the system operation time and local balance; under the constraint of space dimension and actual condition, the reconfiguration assignment rule, system layout and local function have little effect on the operation time efficiency of the system.

Key words: system simulation, sorting system, hospital operation, process optimization
