Question: Q . 2 . There are five work centres in one section of a manufacturing company in the northeast heat treatment ( H T )

Q.2. There are five work centres in one section of a manufacturing company in the
northeast heat treatment (HT), painting (P), welding (W), general machining area
(MA), and cooling (C). The interaction between the following workstation pairs-
(MA, W),(C, W)-is best characterized by an E relationship, between (MA, P) and
(C,P) by an I relationship, and between (MA,C) by an O relationship. All other pairs
except (HT, C) and (P, W) have a U relationship. Whereas HT and C work centres
must be adjacent due to technological considerations, P and W must not be
adjacent due to a relationship chart for the five work centres. Construct a
relationship chart for the five work centres. Use the numeric values of 64,32,16,
8,4, and 2 for A,E,I,O,U, and x and the department areas shown in Table to find
a solution to the problem using the PAG heuristic.
