A

and

will be next to each other as they have the highest number of moves between each other.

Part 4

Based on the flows shown in the matrix, one should expect that centers

C

will be next to each other as they have the second highest number of moves between each other.

Part 5

b) The aim is to improve the layout so that the total "movement cost" can be reduced. Functional locations for

A

and

D

have been fixed. In the improved layout, the work center that should be located between them is:

Part 6

The cumulative distance based on the overall movement of parts between work centers for this layout =

Gordon Miller's job shop has four work areas, A, B, C, and D. Distances in feet between centers of the work areas are: Workpieces moved per week between work areas are: It costs. Gordon $1 to move 1 work piece 1 foot. The weekly total material handling cost of the layout =$ (enter your response as a whole number). Munson Manufacturing, in Gainesville, Florida, wants to arrange its four work centers so as to minimize interdepartmental parts handiling cos The flows, and existing facility layout are shown in the figures below. a) For the existing layout, the cumulative "load x distance" or "movement cost" = feet (enter your response as a whole number)
