A Missouri job shop has four departments machining (M), dipping in a chemical bath (D), finishing (F), and plating (P) assigned to four work areas. The operations Manager, Mary Marrs, has gathered the following data for the movement of material. The number of workpieces moved yearly between work areas are: M MDFP - 800 2,000 400 - 600 400 - 1,800 It costs $0.50 to move 1 workpiece 1 foot in the job shop. For the layout design of the job shop, Mary has the current layout (Plan A) and two proposals (Plan B and Plan C). a) LAYOUT PLAN A: Distance between work areas (departments) in foot: MDFP 21 11 The yearly total material handling cost of the current layout presented in PLAN A = $ 27100 (enter your response as a whole number). b) In Plan B, the proposal is to switch those departments with the high loads, namely, finishing (F) and plating (P), which alters the distance between them and machining (M) and dipping (D), as follows: LAYOUT PLAN B: Distance between work areas (departments) in foot: M MDFP - 21 7 11 b) In Plan B, the proposal is to switch those departments with the high loads, namely, finishing (F) and plating (P), which alters the distance between them and machining (M) and dipping (D), as follows: LAYOUT PLAN B: Distance between work areas (departments) in feet: DFP 21 E ALLA | The yearly total material handling cost of the proposed layout presented in PLAN B = $ (enter your response as a whole number)
