Magazine Chapter 2: 11OQ (page 193)
Question: The flow of materials through eight departments is shown on the next page. Even though the table shows flows into and out of the different departments, assume that the direction of flow is not important. In addition, assume that the cost of moving material depends only on the distance moved.
a. Construct a schematic layout where the departments are arranged on a 2 x 4 grid with each cell representing a 10 x 10-meter square area.
b. Evaluate your layout using a distance-times-flow measure. Assume that distance is measured rectilinearly (in this case, departments that are directly adjacent are 10 meters apart and those that are diagonal to one another are 20 meters apart).
Short Answer
.
Step by step solution
Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: (a) The layout of a department on a 2 x 4 grid
Every cell addresses a 10脳10 meter square area. It implies Departments 1 and 2 are 10 meters separated. Be that as it may, departments 1 and 6 are 20 meters separated. Departments 1-7, 3-5, 4-5, and 4-7 are non-nearby one another.
(b) Distance-times-flow measure
Based on the given information ascertain the absolute loads between every division as follows:
Presently figure out the total load distance utilizing a distance-time-flow-measure, as follows:
Again set up another layout by changing the place of non-adjoining departments as follows
Similarly, presently figure out the total load distance utilizing a distance-time-flow-measure, as follows:
Utilizing the above calculations from thedistance-times flow significant it is seen that the total cost is limited for the subsequent layout. Subsequently, the subsequent layout would be more possible for the organization
