Identify the key factors to consider when utilizing off-site manufacturing and how these can improve staff and patient safety by minimizing disruptions on active campuses. 

Identify what types of items lend themselves to be manufactured off-site, what has been done before, and how high-quality patient safety can be achieved through repeatable manufacturing process and enhanced product quality, including items such as: restroom pods (healthcare, dormitories, hotels), medical headwalls and footwalls, exterior skin panels, packaged central plants and penthouses, MEP racks, and elevators.

Identify how decisions associated with off-site manufacturing influence the end-user and patient experiences and how the repeatable nature of modular construction yields identical components that create a consistent environment for caregivers, which in turn enhances patient safety and improves overall care quality. 

Identify constraints to off-site manufacturing, including factors such as shipping constraints, timing of decisions- constraint analysis, access and loading into the building, timing of loading the building, and delivery inside the building.
