You are the manager of a clinical laboratory at a mid-size (200-bed) community hospital. Physicians and nurses are concerned about the turnaround time for laboratory tests ordered on early morning rounds. It appears that the samples are collected by the phlebotomy team on the 6:00 A.M. rounds. Physicians begin their patient rounds at 7:30 A.M. The physicians prefer to review the results of the laboratory tests ordered at the time they see the patient. They explain to you that they cannot make decisions with regards to further patient treatment or discharge
without these results. Time is of the essence, as the hospital is cutting the budget, and it is important to decrease the patient length of stay. You are expected to look into this matter and make recommendations regarding the most efficient and effective way to address this problem.

- Terex Corporation is a global manufacturer of aerial work platforms and materials processing machinery. They design, build and support products such as large lifting equipment used in construction. The company makes most pieces to order and customizes them to meet customers’ unique preferences.Terex maintained a manual system for yard management at their transfer centre in Washington that is always full of lifting equipment, which generated excessive costs for what should have been a relatively simple process of locating customers’ units to prepare them for delivery. A wallboard and sticker system was a low-tech solution for identifying equipment items in the yard at Terex. While inexpensive in itself, the solution cost around six minutes every time an employee had to locate a unit in the yard. It also required a considerable number of hours to be spent each month taking physical inventories. After a successful pilot, the company approved a new solution, replacing stickers, yard maps,…Terex Corporation is a global manufacturer of aerial work platforms and materials processing machinery.

His complaint is that the data flow from the billing and account receivable departments is not occurring in the manner originally requested. Further, the updates to the database files are not occurring as frequently as he had envisioned. Thus, the hope that the new system would provide more current and timely information has not materialised. Mr Smith claims that the systems analysts spent three days interviewing him and other workers in his department. During that time, he and the other workers thought they had clearly conveyed their needs. At this stage, Mr Smith feels as if their needs were ignored, and their time was wasted.

For students, the system automatically links to the central attendance management system and logs a student’s attendance,and lateness based on when they scan their fingerprint before entering the classroom. For faculty, it automatically records a staff member’s workstatus and commitment, including work status, overtime hours and holiday record. The system should interact with other local and enterprise levelapplications including scheduling and facilities management to develop the staff and student weekly schedule and also grant both faculty and studentsaccess to the specific rooms and facilities based on their schedule through fingerprint recognition software.

Prybloxx has noted that they have two alternatives in insourcing this department – they can either purchase a local courier company that is considered a going concern or they can purchase all of the required assets and set up such a department themselves.
