What was at stake.
Every room taken out of service cancelled cases. The hospital could release only two rooms at once, and each pair needed infection control barriers, medical gas shutdowns and imaging equipment acceptance before it came back. The contractor's schedule showed the work, not the handbacks.
What we did.
Beck Franklin's role: phasing and p6 scheduling. We advise and measure; the contractor builds.
Handback as the milestone
Each pair of rooms was scheduled backward from its return-to-service date, with clinical sign-off as the final activity.
Shutdowns scripted
Medical gas and power shutdowns were sequenced by the hour and agreed with facilities before each phase began.
Two-week look-aheads
Look-aheads went to the perioperative director every two weeks so case scheduling could plan around real dates.
Equipment tracked
Imaging and boom deliveries were tracked against the phase that needed them, with vendor installs in the logic.
What the team delivered.
In a surgical department the schedule is measured in cases lost. We planned every phase around the day the rooms came back.
