nswered Question 6 0 / 40 pts A mobile robot is serving two cells located at either side of the AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) track, as shown by the figure below. There are three machines placed in each cell. Given the from-to chart in the table below, we want to find the best machine arrangements for both cells. Rearrangement is limited only to machines within each cell. Assume that P/D point (pick up/drop off) of each machine is located at the midpoint of the machine edge along the AGV track. The length of departments B and E are twice as other departments. Also, the robot travels only horizontally on the track, thus the distance between A & D, B & E, C & F in the current layout are zero. A B AGV TRACK D E F M/C A B D 50 10 A B 5 45 30 40 35 E 0 30 5 40 F 60 0 20 50 40 D 40 30 25 55 50 0 40 50 0 20 0 60 20 10 M/C Distance M/C Distance A-B 30 60 D-E D-F 30 60 A-C B-C 30 E-F 30 1) How many layout combinations are possible to propose? Create the flow-between matrix and using a cost matrix of 1 (just like in the lecture), calculate the distance score of all layout combinations and answer the following questions (to do it by hand takes time but I think you can get creative and do it in Excel just like a bright new IME graduate at work!) Only type in a number without comma or decimal places: 2) In your flow-between chart, what is the flow between A and D? 3) In your flow-between chart, what is the flow between B and E? 4) What is the distance score of ABC-EFD layout alternative? 5) What is the distance score of ACB-FED layout alternative? 6) What is the distance score of BAC-EDF layout alternative? 7) After exhausting all the layout combinations and calculating their distance scores, what is the best layout? (follow my logic of stating layouts in questions above) 8) What is the distance score of the best layout
