Summary Introduction

Interpretation: A machine shop located on the outskirts of Los Angeles accepts custom orders from a number of high-tech firms in southern California. The machine shop consists of four departments: A (lathes), B (drills), C (grinders), and D (sanders). The from-to chart showing distances in feet between department centers is given.

Assuming that products are produced in batches of size 25; from the given data, a from-to chart giving numbers of materials handling trips per week between departments needs to be given.

Concept Introduction: A routing planning chart consisting of a matrix is called a from-to chart. Various operations are written across the top and along the left side of the form.
