These racks and cabinets are created by processing redwood lumber through a series of work centers to reduce it to standard components, which are then assembled into seemingly customized goods in an assemble-to-order approach to production. Myer Wine Racking has been so successful in building wine cellars and displays for wine collectors and retail stores, it plans to move to a larger building it has just leased. Myer Wine Racking must organize a layout within the restrictions of that building, which has been divided into the 12 equal- sized zones shown in the Ground Plan of New Building illustration. Process and Facility Selection Ground Plan of New Building Zone 1 Zone3 Zone 5 Zone 7 Zone 9 Zene 11 West Wall (Plumbing Wall of Building) Zone 2 Zone 4 Zone 6 Zone3 Zone 10 Zone 12 South Wall Loading Front of Building) - Bay Doors Front Entrance with Glass Windows The owner of the building is willing to install interior walls according to Mwer Wine 's specifications, with some limitations. First, the owner is not willing to change stions of doors along the exterior of the building. This is important because of functional areas within Myer's layout, only the front office or the demo cellar are rate locations for the front entrance, meaning that one of these two areas must Testened to zone 4. Likewise, the shipping department and lumber storage must each be assigned to co stened an exterior loading bay door, confining their locations to zones 11 and 12 the building owner wishes to minimize the expense of running water lines and Second, the building owner drains. Plumbing enters through the west wall of the building, so the owner is only time to Install restrooms within the first four zones of the building. Because Myer will est restrooms in both its front office and production office areas, these two areas must be located somewhere within zones 1 through 4. To aid the layout design process further, Myer Wine Racking has determined a close- mess rating for each possible pair of neighboring areas within its facility, as organized in the REL diagram shown here.

Recommend a good layout for Myer Wine Racking by assigning each of the 12 func tional areas to 1 of the 12 zones in the ground plan, working within the building owner's restrictions. 2. Calculate and report the score earned by your recommended layout, based on the following scale: Each pair of areas that share a straight border within the layout earn 100 points if the pair's corresponding closeness rating is A. 50 points if the pair's corresponding closeness rating is E. 25 points if the pair's corresponding closeness rating is I. 5 points if the pair's corresponding closeness rating is O. 0 points if the pair's corresponding closeness rating is U. -100 points if the pair's corresponding closeness rating is X. 3. Can you improve the recommended layout if the building owner could be convinced to run additional water lines and drains, such that the restrooms could be located anywhere in the building? If so, by how much
