BDC has eight departments, namely: materials, storage, forming, machining, painting, assembly, The consultant appointed for the layout decided to use the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) technique. He collected and prepared the following data for the layout. A. From A relationship chart. (Based on Tables B and C). 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Area (Sq. ft) U U 700 1. Material storage. 2.
