...Facility Planning III Tanya Waller HCS/446 December 20, 2011 Deanna Hatcher Facility Planning III Having to go to the hospital or doctors, office can be a scary and stressful experience for patients. One stressful experience for an older patient is times that the facility is very large. The inability for them to find a department can lead to disorientation and frustration. Caregivers that work in healthcare facilities can also become stressed and can develop increased fatigue. One reason for the caregivers developing stress can be the poor design of the facility. Healthcare facilities should be clear and have a defined appearance based on the population, and needs of the population in which it serves. Poor design can lead to caregivers’ inefficiencies and fines charged because of the facilities failure to meet required regulations. This paper will include a layout and reason why facility was chosen. Suggestions on completing floor design different will also be included, and what I have learned about completing my own floor plan. The reason this facility was chosen was because the goal for the new Women and Infant Center’s reconstruction was to eliminate the overcrowded facility. At one time, the facility was under one roof with 17 labor & delivery rooms, 13 maternity evaluation units, four C-Section operating rooms, and 56 Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Units (O’Brien, 2010). The once cramped special care services have expanded and the facilities...

...policies focusing on sustainable facilities and product developments, and self-criticism/evaluation to find flaws in critical operation tasks Toyota has become a role model in the automotive industry (Corporate Planning Div. 31). SUSTAINABILITY With constant environmental law and regulation changes, Toyota faces one of their biggest challenges to comply. The policies and strategies were easy enough to produce, but the hardest part is getting employee and business partners to adhere, internalize, and understand the overall picture of where Toyota wanted to be. Training programs were designed to educate dealerships and employees on becoming more eco-friendly and sustainable. The result was Toyota launching their Green Supplier Guidelines in 2001, in hopes that the suppliers would follow the same path (Toyota 47). The search for energy savings has produced what Toyota calls a “treasure hunt”, in which suppliers have access to tools and resources that Toyota themselves use to remain eco-friendly. The outcome has been Toyota’s reduction of around 34,000 metric tons of Caron dioxide (CO2) in their supplier’s processes (Toyota 47). Eco-friendly is not only emissions, but also conservation of resources. Toyota strives to help the environment by recycling old parts, reducing the amount of waste produced by creating new ones, and even reducing finished product vehicle CO2 emission (Corporate Planning Div. 31). Toyota logistic and production facilities in North America are equipped...

...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...

...Supply Chain Management According to APICS, a supply chain is a “Global network used to deliver products and services from raw materials to end customers through an engineered flow of information, physical distribution and cash.” The Basic Supply Chain consists of three units….Supplier, Producer and Customer Four basic flows connect these entities together: 1. The flow of physical materials and services from suppliers to producer to customer 2. The flow of cash from the customer back “upstream” toward the supplier 3. The flow of information back and forth along the chain 4. The reverse flow of products returned for repairs, recycling or disposal.(This is called reverse supply chain and is handled by reverse logistics.) Value Chain (Vs) Supply Chain A Value Chain can be any series of activities that increases the value of a product or service as it passes through stages of development and distribution before reaching the end user. Supply Chain is but one part of value Chain. In basic terms, your supply chain consists of your suppliers, your customers and of course, yourself—the producer. Your extended supply chain adds your supplier’s supplier and your customer’s customers to create your extended supply chain. In order to maximize your competitive advantage you need to strengthen your whole supply chain (the extended supply chain) and turn-it into a value chain. Converting supply chains into value chains is a powerful strategy. Supply chains consist of weak bonds and can be broken...

...CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING Introduction In the wake of globalization and economic restructuring highlighted by the current global financial crisis, many countries and communities are trying to redefine and rebuild their economies. To save the country from continuous economic downfall which brings chain of problems such as increased unemployment rate, poverty, further destruction of the natural resources and lack of peace and order, the government together with the community shall take initiatives to think, plan and implement alternatives to address the problem. To meet the present needs of the people without sacrificing the natural resources for the future generations, the program must take the idea of sustainable development which is now one of the emerging trends in the economy. In terms of sustainable development, many countries nowadays, find tourism industry as one tool. Tourism, as defined in the Poverty Alleviation for Sustainable Tourism Development Manual of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia Pacific, is a socio-economic phenomenon comprised of the activities and experiences of tourists and visitors away from their home environment, serviced by the travel and tourism industry and host destinations. Tourism offers various economic, social, cultural and physical environmental benefits which can be generated from the array of services, also called tourism supply. Tourism supply components are classified into five (5) main categories:...

...Cost Audit Cost Audit in EDP environment When planning the cost audit, the cost auditor should consider an appropriate combination of manual and computer-assisted audit techniques (CAATs). In determining whether to use CAATs, he should take into account: i) His computer knowledge, expertise and experience. ii) Availability of CAATs and suitable computer facilities. iii) Impracticability iv) Effectiveness and efficiency. v) Timing. In an EDP environment, the control procedures take basically two stages: 1. Manual Procedure – i.e. the clerical work done up to the translation of data into machine-sensible form. This stage, being manual, is subjected to usual internal control conditions and the Cost Auditor will have little difficulty in appraising them by means of ‘compliance test’ and ‘substantive’ test’. 2. Computer Procedures – i.e. the computer processing work. Auditing in this area is actually a complex activity, for which the Cost Auditor as a prudent person should develop himself for adequate EDP knowledge. Before the actually starts to conduct his audit in EDP environment he should envisage to maintain an ‘Audit Control File’, as his valuable kit. The Computer Audit control File may be built up containing full details of the system including: i) Copies of all source documents and the details of the checks that have been done to ensure their accuracy. ii) Details of physical control over source documents and any control tools on...
