MARQUES-LEON, Maylín et al. Applications of Materials Requirements Planning Systems in Matanzas's Hospitals. Ing. Ind. [online]. 2014, vol.35, n.3, pp. 358-370. ISSN 1815-5936.

The turbulence affecting the worldwide organizations makes it necessary to allocate the scarce resources in those processes that may reach the goals and generate higher outcomes. In this context, since decades ago, health care organizations make great efforts to adopt managerial techniques, imported from manufacturing environment, having as goal the optimization of results in the key decision areas as well as the improvement of quality of care. That is the case of Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) models, which were created in order to plan and control materials and capacity requirements. For hospitals, it materials and human resources plans needed to assist specific groups of patients. This work proposes a model to Manage Hospital Resources (HRP) as a result of a theoretical analysis with an application in of this sector.
