Its new administrator, Mary Lord, decides to reorganize the hospital using the process-layout method she studied in business school. Click the icon to view the current layout of Snow-Bird's eight departments, BEB Click the icon to view the number of trips by patients between departments in an average month. The only physical restriction perceived by Lord is the need to keep the entrance/initial processing room in its current location. All other departments or rooms (each of 10 feet square) can be moved if layout analysis indicates a move would be beneficial.

Her objective, Lord decides, is to lay out the departments so as to minimize the total movement (distance traveled) of patients in the hospital. She writes her objective as where Xij 8 8 Minimize patient movement = X,C. i=1j=1 = number of patient movements per month (loads or trips) moving from department i to department j. = C distance in feet between departments and j (which, in this case, is the equivalent of cost per load to move between departments). Lord assumes that adjacent departments, such as entrance (now in work area A) and exam room 1 (now in work area B), have a walking distance of 10 feet. Diagonal departments are also considered adjacent and assigned a distance of 10 feet. Nonadjacent departments, such as the entrance and exam room 2 (now in area C) or the entrance and recovery room (area G) are 20 feet apart, and nonadjacent rooms, such as entrance and X-ray (area D), are 30 feet apart. (Hence, 10 feet is considered 10 units of cost, 20 feet is 20 units of cost, and 30 feet is 30 units of cost.) First, establish Snow Bird's current layout. Then, by analyzing the current layout, compute patient movement: Total movement = 5,600 feet Lord determined that two useful changes are to switch departments 3 and 6 and to interchange departments 4 and 5. This change would result in the schematic shown the following figure. Entrance (1) Exam room 1 (2) X-ray (4) Exam room 2 (3) = Operating room Lab test/EKG (6) (5) Recovery room Cast-setting room (7) (8) Total movement (85 x 10') + (80 x 10)+(5x30')+(35 x 10') +(40x20')+(30x10')+(35x20)+(15x30') +(10x10)+(20 x 10') + (15 x 10')) = 4,850 feet
