The company agrees to build new homes for purchasers and they then contract with the company to build the home that they have chosen on their block of land wherever it may be in the metropolitan area. This is a lean/thin process as the company has no need for any inventory and all materials and labour are delivered/attend site to complete the work that is required. The materials and labour (supply chain network members) need to be pre-ordered, and then “Called Up” for delivery prior to being needed on site with the appropriate lead times for the different supply chain network members.
This process is very similar on most homes, except the obvious differences between single or multiple storey homes, also there is a vast difference between low cost (simple) and very high cost homes needing a greater level of complication and specification. The homes are generally scheduled with a simple Gantt chart at the beginning of construction for the various stages (See Annexure).

Clinical governance refers to the system by which a governing body, as well as the staff of an organisation share responsibility and accountability for patient care, managing risks and instituting a system which monitors and improves standards. Within healthcare organisations clinical governance aim to develop an environment and processes in which the quality of care delivered within a system is continuously improved(1) with a goal to maintaining and improving standards of clinical practice, while dealing with failures in standards of care and poor performance within the system. Many aspects fall under the umbrella of clinical governance, with the WHO defining quality into four aspects; professional performance (technical quality), resource use (efficiency), risk management (the risk of injury or illness associated with the service provided) and patient’s satisfaction with the service provided(2). This framework is appropriate in designing the clinical governance infrastructure required for the success of the new aeromedical retrieval service. This paper will look at the elements of clinical governance infrastructure that need to be developed prior to the new aeromedical service commencing operation, as well as reviewing the literature available for transport ventilators and analyse their suitability for this service.
