An assembly line process for filling 24-hour unit dose medications in a 699-bed hospital is evaluated. Time studies are reported on different numbers of technicians and different rotational assignment alternatives. The data support evidence that too many technicians involved with the 24-hour fill process results in a less efficient and more costly process.
