Three researchers from HEC Montréal have designed a management tool that improves emergency aeromedical transport in remote areas.

PhD student Joëlle Cormier, Associate Professor Valérie Bélanger and Professor Marie-Ève Rancourt from the Department of  Logistics and Operations Management have developed a simulator that compares various hospital plane fleet compositions.
