Six departments, A, B, C, D, E, and F, consume respectively 12, 6, 9, 18, 22, and 6 squares. Based on a sweep width of 4 and a facility size of 5 by 16, use the techniques employed by ALDEP to find a layout. Assume that the departments are placed in alphabetical order.
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.
40.
Most suitable layout for Job production is:
(a) Line layout, (b) Matrix layout, (c) Process layout, (d) Product layout.
