A?24 1?3?4 16,480
B?16 1?2?4 10,250
Two layouts have been proposed for a new facility. The company is interested in using load?distance analysis to determine the best layout. Distances for claim movements for each layout are shown below:
Departmental Distance between depts.. (ft)
movements Layout A Layout B
1?2 50 50
1?3 75 100
2?3 100 50
2?4 150 75
3?4 25 50
o What is the total travel distance in layout A for claims A?23, A?24, B-16 respectively?
o What is the total travel distance in Layout B for claims A-23, A-24, and B-16 respectively?
o What is the total distance traveled in feet for all claims in a month using Layout A?
