...principal thesis of this paper is to discuss location analysis and its role in supply chain network analysis and design. The emphasis of site location is of strategic importance to all organizations seeking to maximize profits and minimize costs. The logistics/supply chain network design has six major planning steps in the process of designing a comprehensive logistics/supply chain network: The first step is to define the logistics/supply chain design process. The second step is to perform a logistics/supply chain audit. The third step is to examine the logistics/supply chain network alternatives. The fourth step is to conduct a facility location analysis, followed by the fifth step, which is to make decisions regarding network and facility location. The sixth and final step is to develop an implementation plan. Location analysis is also discussed in terms of the advantages and disadvantages of globalization and major location site factors. The discussion then describes the methods for evaluating major location site factors and making location decisions based on the evaluation. The paper concludes with discussing different modeling approaches and the need for comprehensive planning. (Reid and Sanders, 2010) (Coyle, J., Langley, C., Novak, R., Gibson, B. 2013) Introduction As stated by Jeff Karrenbauer (2010) in his presentation, Strategic Supply Chain Design, to the North America Supply Chain World Conference and Exposition, the supply chain design...

...Facility Planning Part II HCS 446 Facility Planning Part II Introduction Development and growing a facility takes much time and contemplation with respect to regulatory requirements, budgets, planning and development of the building and the interior design of the building. Making certain code requirements are met which is usually to help the architect and contractor. Many matters must be well-thought-out during the preliminary design created by the stakeholders in the blueprint. Color collections used, which are satisfying physically and psychologically as well as noise reduction must be reflected when planning the facility. Equipment and electronic items must be determined upon prior to construction of the facility. Cost estimate and budget planning are the first steps, which must be determined before the design of the facility. An implementation plan of the proposal from the preliminary phases of the plan of the facility through construction of the facility has to be arranged and charted. Regulatory requirements Health care facilities are required to follow the licensing regulations of their state in the design they use. Usually this is the 'Facility Guidelines Institute guidelines for design and construction of health care facilities' (Carr, 2010). The states require use of the codes in International Building and in addition, they need to be accredited by the 'Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations' (Carr, 2010). The regulations require...

...During the initial planning and design process construction and operational requirements of a commercial airport are established. The requirements are governed by the FAA under airport certification requirements identified in 14 CFR 139. Security systems, methods, and procedures within the construction and operational process are the obligation of TSA. The Federal Security Director (FSD) is the designated TSA official that approves the required Airport Security Program (ASP) document, the document identifies how the airport will meet security requirements. The FSD and local FAA Airports Division officials should be consulted during all phases of the project. Airport operators must integrate a Safety Management System process into their overall plan in accordance with FAA rules. Airports must establish hazard reporting systems, a risk assessment process, and a risk mitigation and assurance process with the participation of airport management. The best way to implement security in a facility is through advance planning and continuous monitoring throughout the project. Selecting, constructing, or modifying a facility without considering security for the general public, the facility, passengers, and airport and air carrier personnel can result in costly modifications. All physical security upgrades should be based on applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and policies to ensure the protection of all persons and assets (including information systems and...

... Overview Simplicity in design and restraint in construction creates park facilities suited to what attracts visitors in the first place – recreation in the natural park landscape. q The aim of Park Design Guidelines & Data is to help BC Parks staff use their park expertise to produce appropriate facility landscapes. These guidelines identify design criteria and planning processes for BC Parks staff to provide sustainable, appropriate park recreation facilities. They promote facility design that requires the least visible development. q A design approach to visitor facilities is defined that: Recognizing the facilities are an integral part of a park means reducing the impact of use and basing planning and design decisions on local and regional considerations – for the park environment’s long term health. Maintaining natural park landscapes and environments will help ensure the quality of visitor experiences now and in the future. At neighbouring Bromley Rock Provincial Park and Stemwinder Provincial Park, illustrated left, natural site elements create facilities that blend into the natural park landscapes. These examples show the careful expenditure of resources and the thoughtful use of native materials. What is natural, and what has been constructed? blends with, or complements, natural park landscapes conserves or restores park environments q A design and planning process is outlined for BC Parks project teams to achieve these objectives...

Summary This article endeavors to show how library users and staffs be involved in the planning sequence. The collaboration between the architect and library staffs through the plan review process, aims to maximize the function of the interiors of the library. The library facility improvement emphasizes on public self-service convenience and improvement of staff productivity. Reaction Planning for the sake of improving a facility or an establishment is indeed a challenging role. It requires a smart objective aligned with practicality as upgrading needs funding and time. In our generation, technology regime is stretching. We eagerly invest in internet connections, device replacement and skill enhancement making the physical upkeep of library last on the list. As a future librarian staff, I know that it is my responsibility to maintain and further develop the place of adventurous learning which is the library. When I read about the article, I had learned that we could have an alliance with the architects since; they have the necessary skill to create the “perfect” design. Of course, it still needs the idea of the library staffs, which listening and cooperation takes place. The Librarian staffs may include the librarian, consultants and assistants. It is interesting how the place...

...2014 Regulations, Requirements, and Standards A health facility should be safe for staff and patients in the facility. When planning the setup of the health facility the management should provide key safety measure that will make the facility safe to both the staff and the patients thus enabling a peaceful environment (Guenther & Vittori, 2008). The setup should include exit route in case of fire, fire extinguishers, adequate spacing of pathways to enable people to escape from the venue without causing a stampede. With high level safety measures the facility will be secure and safe for effective performance of tasks by medical staff. It will also be conducive for the patients and clients of the institution who come on daily basis for checkup. A safe environment for a health care facility is favorable as it enhances the safety standards of the institution. The facility should be on secure location for the sake of both the client and all staff working in it, as the institution is highly labor based the security of all people to use the facility should be put on consideration (Guenther & Vittori, 2008). In January of last year, the emergency room of Doctors’ Hospital of Michigan (DHM) closed and was later converted it into a 24-hour Urgent Care. This paper will discuss regulations, requirements, and standards that will affect facility design and renovation of DHM’s urgent care department. A health care should incorporate operational...

...Facility Planning – Considerations Elizabeth Theodorides February 23, 2015 Intro In this paper I will go over the topics of what is the regulatory requirtement and their effects on the design and equipment and colors sections and noise issues. Also the types of equipment needed examination of budget planning and cost estimates, and description of the role of stakeholders in facility planning and development. Regulatory Requirements Hospitals are among the most regulated of all building types. Like other buildings, they must follow the local and/or state general building codes. However, federal facilities on federal property generally need not comply with state and local codes, but follow federal regulations. For many years the health care system has experienced a continuing decline in the number of beds required for inpatients. As inpatient care is reduced, there is a corresponding trend toward increased outpatient health care. An outpatient clinic is less expensive to build and operate than a hospital. Space need not be devoted to "hotel functions" (the typical nursing units of hospitals), (WBDG) and the extensive dietetic and housekeeping areas that accompany them. Fire code requirements are considerably less demanding and mechanical and electrical systems can be simpler. Multiple shifts of staff are not required, since the building is usually closed at nights and on weekends, and housekeeping can take place after it is closed to patients and most staff, rather than...
