Question
a) Assuming that the direction of travel between each pair of departments can be ignored, convert the flow matrix into a triangular flow matrix.
a) Assuming that the direction of travel between each pair of departments can be ignored, convert the flow matrix into a triangular flow matrix.
b) Determine the total travel for the current layout given below. Assume a distance of 1 unit between adjacent departments and rectilinear travel (travel in perpendicular directions). For example, the distance between departments A and B is equal to 1 unit. The distance between A and C is 2 units and the distance between A and F is 3 units. A B C D E F
