2015, Master of Arts, University of Akron, Clothing, Textiles and Interiors.
In the interior design profession “Churn” is often thought of as a process by which vacant space, resulting from departing employees, is reconfigured for different employees or potential for alternative usage. This is not always an accurate depiction of the term. By definition, churn, in its expansive sense, is “a measure of the number of individuals or items moving out of a collective over a specific period of time” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 2003). Office layouts are subject to frequent changes, either by creating space for new employees, by reusing space from departing employees moved to a different area, or to accommodate changes in job functions or area of responsibility. The purpose of this study is to develop a logical and efficient way to manage the movement and condensation of employees in large corporations with limited space. Conducting a case study on Westfield Group, one of Ohio’s most successful companies, give insight on how to efficiently move different departments in limited space with nearly eliminating down time.
