Relocating Your In-plant
When the in-plants at McGill University Health Centre got the green light to move into a new facility, the managers were determined to do everything right, from plant design to the move itself. Here’s what they learned.
Reducing Travel Distance
At that time we had just begun designing our new facility, and we were placing paper in a centralized location. With some simple modifications to our design, which included displacing several pieces of equipment and rearranging our paper locations, we reduced the distance that staff had to travel to retrieve paper by as much as 50 feet, with all of the high-volume paper conveniently located within eight feet of the equipment.
