Chapter 4: Case – Shouldice Hospital – A Cut Above (page 115). Answer all 4 questions in the textbook

6.
A) 358.3 units
B) 325 units
C) 575 units
a. F (this month) = (325 + 350 + 400)/3 = 358
b. F (next month) = (300 + 325 + 350)/3 = 325
c. F (two months ago) = 450 + .20(400 – 450) = 440
F (one month ago) = 440 + .20(350 – 440) = 422
F (this month) = 422 + .20(325 – 422) = 403

Case

    In order to calculate the utilization rates, data that was retrieved and analyzed from patient surveys and time studies. Utilization rates were calculated as separate divisions and by the particular job title. To calculate the utilization rates for individual job functions, the number of total hours spent on the process was divided by the number of total hours available for work for the particular worker(s). Doing so, utilization rates were 74.07% for clerks, 81.83% for the main three nurses, 83.42% for technicians, 75.83% for radiologist, 57.25% for the extra nurse, 110.43% for the surgeon, 92.24% for the senior resident, and 90.04% for the cast technician (Appendix A). Similarly, to calculate the utilization rate for individual divisions, the number of total hours spent in the division was divided by the number of total available hours for that division. The corresponding utilization rates for the divisions were 67.43% for reception/front desk, 69.83% for radiology, 28.63% for x-ray hand off, and 97.57% for examination room (Appendix B).…

    Shouldice Hospital Case

    Shouldice Hospital Case

    Bottleneck analysis: Also see enclosed Process flow chart (Appendix 1). Hospital is able to perform 42 exams/afternoon and send 38 patients to the operation rooms. But surgery capacity is 33 operations/day only. Bottleneck (number of operations/day) is therefore located between these two processes. Hospital performs 33 operations/day = demand 116 beds/Wed,Thu and 99 beds/Tue. Demand is 116 and current capacity is 89. Bottleneck is the number of beds available. It is necessary to increase capacity by (116-89)/89 = 30% just to meet current schedule of surgeries. Currently there are 30 – 36 operations performed daily = 33 for an average. 4*5 = 20 in the morning and 13 in the afternoon (assuming that time slot will last ca. 50 minutes). Here is an opportunity for improvement. Each of normal operations takes 1 hour and there are 5 hours available during the morning => increase 1 operation / room which represents total of 5 operations across 5 operating rooms per day. During afternoon is no improvement possible. It results in increasing of capacity for a total 38 / day (25 each morning and 13 each afternoon). When scheduled for 5 day week, it requires 133 rooms available for peak days of the week (Wed and Thu). The new need represents 50% increase in capacity compared to the current capacity of 89 rooms. Recommendation: Hospital should invest 4 million dollars in the new space, which will increase bed capacity by 50% and will require perform Saturday surgeries as well. Capacity of beds will increase 89*(1 + 50%) = 133. It exceeds number of beds needed at the time (116), therefore eliminate the bed capacity bottleneck. With 133 beds it is possible to accommodate 38 new patients / day, thus 38 operations can be performed per day. Daily examination capacity, daily operation capacity and number of beds available corresponds without any troubles => no individual bottleneck.…
