t is a splendid conducted research involving a smashing combination between 7 specialties in 2 countries: Kuwait and Amman.
The specialties are: Rehabilitation doctors, physiotherapists, biomedical engineers, staff nurses, chemical engineers, architectural
engineering and industrial engineers. This research represents a case study of designing and building a new specialized rehabilitation
and physiotherapy hospital. In the concept design stage, we utilized the industrial engineering principles represented by QFD, Kano
model to collect information about the required departments and medical equipment to be installed. We applied QC tools represented
by control chart, histogram and Pareto chart to verify the accuracy of the provided information before presenting it to the architect
to prepare the concept design drawings. By applying QFD and Kano model, we built a so called house of quality (HOQ). This HOQ
represents the perspectives of rehabilitation doctors, physiotherapists, biomedical engineers, staff nurses, and chemical engineers
regarding the departments and medical pieces of equipment quantities in the hospital. This novel approach deeply illustrated the end
users’ necessities and reflected an efficient design and project time saving.
