This document presents a detailed linear programming case study in the service sector, specifically focused on hospital resource planning by Dr. Naseema Malik. It defines four types of hospital beds—Normal, ICU, OT, and Day Care—each with unique equipment requirements and associated costs. Using hypothetical but realistic data, the case aims to minimize the total cost of hospital bed allocation under eight well-defined constraints involving limited medical resources like IV stands, oxygen cylinders, and ventilators. The document includes a clear word problem, mathematical model, and the optimal solution, making it ideal for students and professionals studying operations research, healthcare management, or linear programming applications in real-world service settings.
