Recently, a significant increase of the number of research works has been observed in the health field. In fact, several methods for organizing flows and managing resources and tasks have been proposed to improve the performance of the global hospital supply chain. This improvement regarding various links of the hospital supply chain is considered as a quote for hoisting the healthcare process and organizing work in its agencies.

Moreover, several performance analysis methods were used in order to confront the major problems of this area. Two main approaches are the origin of these methods: the modeling and simulation approach and the optimization based on simulation approach.

The main goal of this work is to present a literature review of the main techniques of modeling and performance analysis used in various research projects in the hospital field. This literature review will be complemented by a study of analysis and classification of the previous techniques. It is about a review in which will be proposed a conceptual model of performance analysis process and the techniques most adapted to the different characteristics and components of the hospital system.
