Below is the layout of three work stations (rooms 1,2,3) in a primary care clinic, along with data regarding traffic between the work stations and distance between the zones (A,B,C).

Find the loaddistance for the current layout.

Redesign the layout to minimize loaddistance (i.e. which room should be in which zone). What is the total loaddistance for your recommended layout?

Zone A Room 1	Zone B Room 2
