GSCM 520 Week 2 Case Study Shouldice Hospital – A Cut Above
Review the Shouldice Hospital case study. You can find the questions
for this case study in Doc Sharing.
Compose an APA-formatted Word document, no more than three
pages in length; please answer each of the questions in the presented
case study.
In a three-page paper, answer the following.
How well does the hospital currently utilize its beds?
Develop a similar table to show the effects of adding operations on
Saturday. (Assume that 30 operations would still be performed each
day.) How would you affect the utilization of the bed capacity? Is this
capacity sufficient for the additional patients?
Now look at the effect of increasing the number of beds by 50%. How
many operations could the hospital perform per day before running
out of bed capacity? (Assume operations are performed 5 days per
week, with the same number performed on each day.) How well will
the new resources be utilized relative to the current operation? Could
the hospital really perform that many operations? Why? (Hint: look at
the capacity of the 12 surgeons and the five operating rooms.)
