Consider the relationship chart for the a fast-food restaurant, Assume that the areas required for each department are: Department Area Required (Square feet) (CB) 300 (CF) 200 (PS) 200 (DD) 200 (CS) 300 Assume facility dimension of 6 (horizontal) by 8 (vertical) squares, where each square is 5 feet on a side. As a result, for example the CB department requires 12 squares. Develop a layout for the fast-food restaurant.
What is the significant difference between the layout of retail facilities and that of other production facilities?
Munson Manufacturing, in Gainesville, Florida, wants to arrange its four work centers so as to minimize interdepartmental parts handling costs. The flows and existing facility layout are shown in the figures below. Figure 1. Parts Moved Between Work Centers A A B C D Figure 2. Existing Layout A B C 375 0 0 Based on the flows shown in the matrix, one should expect that the centers A and 30¹- A 1-30-1 -30¹- a) For the existing layout, the cumulative "load x distance" or "movement cost" = 89250 feet (enter your response as a whole number). ن D B B 450 D 0 0 C 550 175 0 will be next to each other as they have the highest number of moves between each other.
