A Discrete Event Simulation model to evaluate the treatment pathways of patients with Cataract in the United Kingdom
Demir, Eren; Southern, David; Rashid, Syed; Lebcir, Mohamed (2018-12-04)Background The number of people affected by cataract in the United Kingdom (UK) is growing rapidly due to ageing population. As the only way to treat cataract is through surgery, there is a high demand for this type of ... -
A Discrete Event Simulation model to evaluate the use of community services in the treatment of patients with Parkinson’s disease in the United Kingdom.
Lebcir, Mohamed; Demir, Eren (2017-01-18)Background: The number of people affected by Parkinson’s disease (PD) is increasing in the United Kingdom driven by population ageing. The treatment of the disease is complex, resource intensive and currently there is no ... -
Does size matter? : An exploration of the role of body size on brand image perceptions
Watson, Anna; Lecki, Natascha; Lebcir, Mohamed (2015-05-18)Purpose – This paper aims to investigate the role of body size on female consumers’ fashion brand image perceptions. Design/methodology/approach – An experimental design was used whereby the model’s body size in a fictitious ... -
Drivers of complexity in new product development projects : why are some projects more complex than others?
Lebcir, Mohamed (2008)Project complexity has recently become an important element of project management theory and, therefore, has attracted a lot of attention from academics and practitioners alike. However, what does project complexity mean ... -
A dynamic model of the effects of project complexity on time to complete construction projects
Lebcir, Mohamed; Choudrie, Jyoti (2011-12-01)The aim of this paper if to investigate the factors driving project complexity in construction projects and how they impact on project cycle time. This issue has been addressed by building a framework for project complexity ... -

Lebcir, Mohamed (University of Hertfordshire, 2006)Project complexity has recently become an important element of project management theory and, therefore, has attracted a lot of attention from academics and practitioners alike. However, what does project complexity mean ... -
Health Care Management: The Contribution of Systems Thinking
Lebcir, Mohamed (University of Hertfordshire, 2006)This paper investigates the advantages of using Systems Thinking and System Dynamics in the analysis of health care systems. It demonstrates that the disappointing results observed in health care management are due to a ... -
High coverage with HAART is required to substantially reduce the number of deaths from tuberculosis : system dynamics simulation
Lebcir, Mohamed; Atun, Rifat A.; Drobniewski, Francis; McKee, Martin; Coker, Richard (2007-04)We used a system dynamics simulation model of the transmission dynamics of drug-sensitive tuberculosis (DSTB), multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) and HIV to estimate the impact of coverage with highly active ... -
How the health-seeking behaviour of pregnant women affects neonatal outcomes: findings of system dynamics modelling in Pakistan
Ahmad, Raheelah; Zhu, Nina J; Lebcir, Mohamed; Atun, Rifat A. (2019-03-30)Background Limited studies have explored how health seeking behaviour during pregnancy through to delivery affect neonatal outcomes. We modelled health-seeking behaviour across urban and rural settings in Pakistan, where ... -
Impact of joined up HIV harm reduction and multi drug resistant tuberculosis control programmes in Estonia : system dynamics simulation model
Atun, Rifat A.; Lebcir, Mohamed; McKee, Martin; Habicht, J.; Coker, Richard (2007-05-01)In Eastern Europe and Central Asia (ECA) the control of tuberculosis, multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) poses important public health challenges. We used system dynamics ... -
Impact of project complexity factors on new product development cycle time
Lebcir, Mohamed (University of Hertfordshire, 2011)The aim of this paper if to investigate the factors driving project complexity in New Product Development (NPD) projects and how they impact on development cycle time. This issue has been addressed in two steps: (i) building ... -
The importance of learning and knowledge sharing to support implementation of total quality management in healthcare
Lebcir, Mohamed; Sideras, James D (2021-10-02)Implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in healthcare has been affected by several shortcomings. Among these is the inadequacy of learning and knowledge sharing methods adopted to support TQM implementation. ... -
