Question
Chapter 11, Problem 50AP
Summary Introduction
Interpretation: An initial layout for four departments and from-to charts giving distances separating departments and unit transportation costs appear in Figure 11 -33. Using the CRAFT pairwise exchange technique, the layout recommended to minimize the total material handling costs needs to be determined.
Figure 11 - 33
Concept Introduction: The full form of CRAFT is Computerized Relative Allocation of Facilities Technique and it uses a pair wise exchange algorithm for calculating the optimal results and this tool is used to enhance the existing facilities for a layout.
