Question: For the initial layout given below, list all possible pairwise exchanges that would be considered by CRAFT. Assume department B is fixed in its location.

For the initial layout given below, list all possible pairwise exchanges that would be considered by CRAFT. Assume department B is fixed in its location. Use only one iteration of pair-wise exchange method (such as exchanging A with C) to develop a better layout from the initial layout and the material flow matrix (F) given below. Calculate the distance matrix (D) first (the flow cost is cij=1 TL per unit per meter).
Initial Layout:
\table[[A,B,C,D,],[A,-,10,5,10],[B,-,-,20,15],[C,-,-,-,30],[D,-,-,-,-]]
\table[[,A,B,C,D],[?bar(A),-,10,20,10],[B,-,-,cdots,dots.],[D,,-,-,]]
b) List all possible pairwise exchanges by CRAFT: q,
q,
