Facilities Layout Design with System Simulation for Pre-Employment Services on Diagnostic Centers and Laboratories

Published: 29 May 2020 Publication History

Abstract

This paper proposes to develop a layout model for a diagnostic clinic in Metro Manila that caters the pre-employment medical examination of applicants from different companies serviced by this diagnostic clinic. The assessment of the current diagnostic clinic focused on the current layouts within Metro Manila in coordination with the patient's perspective. The assessment was done through survey for the three diagnostic clinics for both doctors/staffs and patients using different tools and technique in facilities layout and design to come up with the best possible combination of departments that should be close together and add possible facility that help utilize and maximize space while reducing the queue. The researchers used the systematic layout planning for the design and simulation software (ProModel) to evaluate if the proposed layout design is effective. Moreover, visual representation is needed in order to appreciate the new layout design and this was done using Auto-Cad or Google Sketch-Up. This paper were able to show the design of 3 layouts that cater to a capacity and inflow of 40, 60 and 80 patients in a day.
