Question

Topic 4 - PROCESS&TECHNOLOGY AND CAPACITY&FACILITY DESIGN
The design committee has collected a data on patient movement in General Hospital, Kuala Lumpur. The design committee would like to relocate the current layout of six rooms in such that the rooms become more efficient and customer-friendly. Number of patient movement from all rooms are given as in Table Q4d.

(table Q4d added)

No. 1 to 6 stands for:
1 = Intake Dept., 2 = Examination room, 3 = Radiology,
4 = Laboratory, 5 = Orthopedics, 6 = Waiting room

(Figure Q4d added)

From the above data;
i. Analyze the non-adjacent loads for the CURRENT LAYOUT of the six rooms as shown in Figure Q4d.
ii. If the current layout is relocated as NEW LAYOUT 1 and NEW LAYOUT 2 as shown in Figure Q4d, determine the new non-adjacent loads for both new layouts.
iii. Comments on your result.

Note: Number of patient movement = Load
Non-adjacent loads = loads given by non-adjacent (not neighbour) rooms
