Facility layout class

( 80 points) Mary and David provide data for a local wood manufacturer that wants to decrease material handling by changing from a process layout to a GT layout. It is considering installing a conveyor for intracellular movement of parts. It wishes to restrict intercellular movement. The machine-part matrix for the wood manufacturer is shown below. (a) Use the DCA to form the cells and, if conflicts exist, propose alternative approaches for resolving the conflicts. (b) Re-do the problem by using R\&CM algorithm. (c) Re-do the problem by using Rank Order Clustering algorithm. (d) If the machine-part matrix for the wood manufacturer has been changed to the figure as below. Use the DCA to form the cells and, if conflicts exist, propose alternative approaches for resolving the conflicts
