A Smart ecoDSM for Treating Medical Waste: A Modified Version

Abstract

In Indonesia, the issue of waste is definitely challenging. This problem demands an exclusive and prudent treatment to implement; as a destructive consequence practically generated from incorrect strategy implementation in treating is wide-ranging, particularly for human’s life and health and also for environment. This paper offers a generic smart ecological decision support model (ecoDSM) for treating medical waste. The mathematical model based on fuzzy logic conception that combined with the other heuristic optimization method are functioned to measure and justify six alternatives of treating strategy decision. Based on empirical data of two types of medical waste (i.e. sharp and infectious) coming from private hospital; the model’s simulation result shows that the "mechanical processing and chemical disinfectant" treatment strategy is the most objective decision should be implemented by the hospital.
