Part 1: Create a flowchart (See attachment) of the process that was discussed in the first meeting (see
attachment) to illustrate the workflow that is currently being used. This will help the team decide where there
may be problems in the current workflow.
Part 2:
The following information was extracted from the floor secretary logs from the past week.
A total of 3622 tests were done and 589 were over the standards for turnaround time
The breakdown by urgency is as follows:
Of 459 STATs, 77 were over standard
Of 1042 Urgents, 334 were over standard
Of 2121 Routines, 178 were over standard
You want to bring a graph of this data for the next team meeting.
NOTE: Your Excel table might look something like this in order to make a graph that will be valuable. (The
excel table is attached as an example in the screenshot)
TASKS:
Create a graph, using Excel, depicting the data attached in the screenshot. Analyze this data once your graph
is made. What conclusions can be drawn? Write a short summary of what the graph is telling you.
Decide! Does the team have enough data? Brainstorm a list of the data you would like to have. Where would
you get that data? Submit a short list of your brainstorm ideas and explain what you would discuss with the
team regarding gathering more
