Tray Monitor

Tray monitor is software found on company computers. It is used to track trays. All computers on site have the ability to view trays with a login. AMB carry an IPad to utilize this software. It is a visual representation of where trays are located and how old they are.

The expo computer should stay in "view all tray mode" to reap the most benefit from this software. This mode allows you to provide help accordingly.

Example scenarios:

• You see 20 trays for the 2nd floor AMB. You have the runner or a cc help deliver trays because the AMB will 1. fall behind 2. only 12 trays fit into their delivery cart.
• The timer goes off for the east pavilion AMB. You see that the AMB still has 5 trays left to deliver. You call the AMB to locate what part of the floor they are at and you send the runner or cc to take the holding cart to the AMB. This saves time since the AMB does not have to return to the department. The runner/cc will return the holding cart to the kitchen.
• You notice that the line cook is averaging 20 minutes to produce an entrée and there is still 30 more trays to prepare. Locate the other cook or supervisor to help the line cook. This will get the trays off the line quicker.

Overall, you must be aware of how long it is taking at each station. It is your responsibility to provide help where needed. Remember, the goal is to get the tray to the patient within 45 minutes.
