a) Discuss the three methods used in evaluating layouts and state the advantages and limitations of each method. b) Four products are being produced in a manufacturing cell that has four departments, A, B, C, D respectively. The daily production rate is given in Table 1. The four departments are assigned to four locations, labeled as 1, 2, 3, 4. The distances among these locations (centroids) are given by Table 1 Table 1. Production sequence and daily rate Processing sequence Product type 1 2 1 2 3 4 3 4 Table 2.
