Facility planning problem

Q 5. Consider Problem 3.37. The distance from A to B is 75 units, B to C is 50 units, and C to D is 60 units. For (b), the distances from A to C and B to D (and the reverse directions) are given by the hypotenuse of a triangle formed by the departments (e.g., ABC). Which layout would you prefer, (a) or (b)? Why? (a) Straight-line flow layout. A A BCD (b) U-flow layout D C To cg empany produces four products in its production facility. The facility has fo ments labeled A-D. The routing information, production quantities, and vo each product are given in the table below Production Quantities (per day) 15 20 14 Volume (compared to Product 1) Product under 1 2 3 4 Routing B-A-D-C-A A-D-C-B A-C-D-B B-A-C-D 1 1 2 0.5 10 rmine the from-to chart.
