Develop a process layout that will minimize the total distance travelled by patients at a medical clinic, using the following information. Assume a distance of 35 feet between the reception area and each other location A to F. Assume that the reverse distances are the same. Use the floor plan shown on the next page. Use the heuristic in the section "Minimizing Total Transportation Cost or Distance."
