Question:

Using the load-distance model, determine a good arrangement for work centers at locations for the numbers given in the following matrices.

Distance Matrix: Distances (feet) between locations A, B, C, D, and E from row i to column j.

i/j A B C D E A 0 10 20 32 40 B 10 0 16 18 20 C 20 16 0 12 15 D 32 18 12 0 10 E 40 20 15 10 0 Number of units flowing between work centers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 from row i to column j:

i/j 1 2 3 4 5 1 x 50 60 80 20 2 40 x 50 10 90 3 80 90 x 60 30 4 50 10 40 x 70 5 60 5 5 30 x If the cost of a unit moving one foot is one dollar ($1 per unit per foot traveled), what is the total daily work-flow cost of the solution obtained?
