Conventional scheduling procedure and the multiplex scheduling algorithm. Using the conventional scheduling procedure drugs are initially divided lumens based on drug category and subsequently based on compatibility (Panel a). The multiplex algorithm (Panel b) has to satisfy utility and maximal administration rate (QMAX) related constraints for successful scheduling. When a drug cannot be multiplexed, it will be scheduled following the conventional scheduling procedure.
