Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop a multi-criteria decision-making model which aids in planning effective resource allocation pertinent to a health-care system. This paper will be approached by using an integrated multi-criteria decision-making model. The proposed model combines goal programming (GP) too in order to solve the problem of satisfying the resource allocation of a health-care system, while meeting the given constraints. The proposed model utilizes the goal programming approach to reflect the multiple, conflicting goals of the health-care system. The proposed model provides the compromised and satisfying solution for planning effective resource allocation.
