Question

Arrange five departments in a factory to minimize the material handling costs. Each department is 20 × 20 feet and the building is 100 feet long and 200 feet wide.

  • Construct a “from-to matrix”
  • Determine the space requirements
  • Develop an initial schematic diagram
  • Determine the cost of this layout
  • Try to improve the layout
  • Prepare a detailed plan

 The following table shows the load transported between each of the five departments
