Using Simulation Models as Early Strategic Decision Support in Health Care - Designing a Medical 3D Printing Center at Point of Care in Hospitals

We present a scalable simulation model of a medical 3D printing center at point of care, which is used for early strategic decision making concerning its configuration. The model is part of an ongoing research initiative where 3D printing technology is designed and assessed for the purpose of producing patient specific medical devices at point of care. The model captures uncertainties in medical 3...
