Clinical and Hospital Network
Product: Asset Inventory Management (AIM)
About the Client
The clinical and hospital network is the premier heart center and one of the top medical centers in the country. Its campus sprawls over eight million square feet in Cleveland and its off-campus health system includes nine community hospitals and two affiliate hospitals.
Strategy
The clinical and hospital network management team recognized that they needed a solution to manage the capital assets of over 8 million square feet. The solution had to be both user friendly, along with using internal technology that made the assets available to all locations in a timely manner.
Results
APG Office Furnishings worked directly with the network facility group to introduce a software management system, Asset Inventory Management (AIM). The network’s integration into AIM has resulted in APG managing all of its existing furniture. With an organized and inventoried warehouse, churn is more efficient and projects can be installed fast -- sometimes overnight. The results of well-organized churn projects have improved morale and downtime by getting employees back to work sooner. The AIM program has worked so well that other items, such as medical equipment and non-furniture pieces, have been entered into the system.
