Question

Q174. The Snow-Bird Hospital is a small emergency-oriented facility located in a popular ski resort area in north Michigan. Its new administrator, Mary Lord, decides to reorganize the hospital, using the process-layout method she studied in business school. The current layout of Snow-Bird's eight emergency departments is shown below: Snow-Bird Hospital Layout > Laboratory Operating room Recovery room Cast-setting room Tests/EKG >> 40' The only physical restriction perceived by Lord is the need to keep the combination entrance/initial processing room in its current location. All other departments or rooms (each 10- foot square) can be moved if layout analysis indicates a move would be beneficial.

Explanation / Answer

The redone layout to minimise the patient movement should look like as below:

Entrance/intial processing Exam Room (1) Lab test/EKG Operating room Exam room (2) X-Ray Recovery room Cast setting room
