A large equipment manufacturer uses five adjacent work centers to manufacture its equipment. The distance between any two adjacent work centers is 100 meters. The number of daily trips between the different work centers is given below: lop52 Number of daily trips between different work centers FROM/TO A B C D E A 24 48 73 43 B 16 15 26 C 54 61 D 28 E
