For the office layout shown in question number 2, determine the closeness desirability rating using the rating table below. Treat the hallway as if it doesn’t exist (i.e., the Production and Accounting Departments touch each other). Can you find a more desirable layout? How could you use both the total distance traveled and the closeness desirability in assessing the layout alternatives? Can you find a layout resulting in relatively good scores using both types of criteria?
