Chapter 11.3, Problem 3P
(a)
Summary Introduction
Interpretation: A from-to Chart from the given information is to be designed.
Concept Introduction:
The from-to chart is a routing chart, usually made up of the matrix. The from-to chart is generally used to present the relationship between a set of points.
(b)
Summary Introduction
Interpretation: A From-to-chart by providing material handling cost per week between different departments is to be designed assuming that the cost of transporting goods 1 food is estimated to be $2.
Concept Introduction:
The from-to chart is a routing chart, usually made up of the matrix. The from-to chart is generally used to present the relationship between a set of points.
(c)
Summary Introduction
Interpretation: Designing a relationship activity chart for a given facility on the basis material handling cost obtained from the from-to chart from part (b) along with the ranking A,E,I,O, and U, where A is being allocated as the highest cost and U is the least.
Concept Introduction:
A relationship chart generally represents the relationship between different departments in an organization which is very important to consider while preparing a facility layout plan.
(d)
Summary Introduction
Interpretation: Whether a different layout is necessaryfor the given facility based on the result obtained from (b) and (c).
Concept Introduction:
Observation of a from-to chart and relationship chart is required to determine whether a different layout is necessary or not.

- You have been hired as a short-term consultant to evaluate Cop waste's Collection operation in the central business district (CBD) due to a disagreement among cop-waste collection staff members and management. The disagreement revolves around the amount of time spent by collectors on off- route activities. Off route activities will take up 15% of each 8 -hour workday for collectors. However, management claims that the collectors are not adhering to the allocated time, while the collectors claim that they spend less than 15% of their time each day. You are given the following information that has been verified by both collectors and management.

The primary objective of the mill is to provide the farmers with a place to take their crop for processing that will reduce their transportation costs. The members of the co-op believe that the center-of-gravity method is appropriate for this objective. While there are over 200 sugar cane farms in the region, they are tightly clustered around six villages. Using the data below, use the center-of-gravity method to calculate the coordinates of the best location for this mill. All mileage references use Browns Town as (0,0).
