	abstract = {This paper considers the operation scheduling and planning of elective patients in the Orthopedic Department of the {\textquotedblleft}Lozano Blesa{\textquotedblright} Hospital in Zaragoza. We assume an ordered list of patients that should be planned for surgery in two available rooms, each room being possible to be used for a specific duration per day. Based on the average durations of surgeries that have been computed by considering historical information, we propose a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem to obtain a specific utilization rate per room. We have developed a Decision Support System (DSS) base on MILP that helps doctors in their daily planning. The results are tested on some real data from the hospital and some simulation results are provided.},
