Eight work centers must be arranged in an L- shaped building. The locations of centers 1 and 3 are assigned as shown in the accompanying diagram. Assuming transportation costs are $ 1 per load per meter develop a suitable layout that minimizes transportation costs using the given information. Compute the total cost. (Assume the reverse distances are thesame.)
