1- CVD analysis is more appropriate when determining layouts for job processes rather than when determining layouts for flow processes.

True

False

2- The CVD value for Alternative 1 is:

13,320

16,390

12,900

14,140

15,200

3- The CVD value for Alternative 2 is:

15,865

14,645

12,910

16,790

17,750

4- The CVD value for Alternative 3 is:

15,445

11,360

13,875

18,050

16,990

5- Generally speaking, layouts with higher CVD values are desirable.

True

False

6- Possible limitations of this analysis include all of the following EXCEPT:

Load matrix estimates may be based on an inappropriate sample.

Assuming that the cost of movement is the same for all resources moved may not be valid.

Historical relationships between the various hospital departments are not considered.

Only three of many possible layouts are considered in this analysis.

Other considerations besides cost may be important when selecting a hospital layout.

A4: Hospital Layout MGT 305 You are a project manager for a local hospital alliance. One of the alliance's hospitals is undergoing an expansion. Three alternative layouts are being considered: Alternative 1 Emergency Room Operating Room Radiology Recovery Cardiology Reception Alternative 2 Emergency Room Radiology Operating Room Recovery Reception Cardiology Alternative 3 Operating Room Emergency Room Recovery Reception Cardiology Radiology All rooms share a common hallway situated in the center of the wing. Movement to adjacent rooms or to a room directly across the hall is 30 feet. Moving diagonally across the hall (e.g., Operating Room to Radiology in Alternative 1) is 50 feet. Moving 'double diagonally across the hall (e.g., Operating Room to Cardiology in Alternative 1) is 75 feet. You've been asked to analyze the alternatives. Which one looks best?
