Cardiac Staging Facility Workflow Redesign, Ryan Chang
Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering
This study analyzes and proposes Cardiac Staging nurse workflow improvements along with a new Cardiac Staging facility design at French Hospital. Currently, patients spend an expected 125 minutes in Cardiac Staging. It was found that 60% of the time in Cardiac Staging was spent waiting to be transferred into the Cath Lab. The following Industrial Engineering methods were utilized to eliminate waste in staging and design a new staging area:
Use of Lean and Six-Sigma tools to recommend new patient arrival time
Manufacturing product scheduling to reduce patient wait time
Use of facility redesign techniques to improve …

Hardy Diagnostics Facility Redesign, Jamie W. Lam
Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering
This senior project is a facilities design for the plate production room at Hardy Diagnostics. This project was completed using a systematic layout planning approach. The main reason for this redesign was to consolidate all plate line production into one room. This would ensure better visability for the managers. After the project was defined, the different departments were established and the relationships between those departments were found. The space requirements needed for those departments were then measured out to also include the aisle widths and any machinery or carts needed to complete each function. Having determined all requirements for this …
