A discrete-event simulation tool for hospital Emergency Room staffing optimization. Model patient flow, analyze doctor utilization, and test various staffing scenarios under realistic conditions including absenteeism.

• Multi-scenario Simulation: Test different doctor counts in parallel
• Realistic Modeling: Exponential arrivals, lognormal treatment times
• Absenteeism Impact: See how staff availability affects wait times
• Interactive Dashboard: Real-time parameter adjustment
• Data Export: Download results for further analysis

• Python 3.8 or higher
• pip package manager
