Place the next highest next to the first. Continue for each department until all have been placed. Ensure that the relationships are considered and accounted for each department. 3. Repeat the process several times and choose the layout with the highest score. 4. Upload this layout, showing your "score" for the layout, to the appropriate Assignment folder. NOTE: This is one of two required for credit!! 5. Which type of layout would you choose for maximum efficiency, minimize travel, and lowest overall cost?NOTE: As an example, to finding the order, suppose the following procedure: Department Summary Count TO TCR Order From 1 3 4 5 A F O U 1 A F F 0 1 33 3 2 A m A O 2 1 0 0 41 1 3 A F 1 2 1 0 0 36 2 U O O 0 0 1 5 5 E O O A 1 1 2 O 26 4 . A - Absolutely necessary = 16 * = 1(16) + 2(8) + 0(4) + 1(1) + 0(0) = 33 . E - Especially important = 8 . I - Important = 4 . O - Okay = 1 . U - Unimportant = 0 . X - Undesirable = -80 Putting distances travelled between departments and the cost per travel distance can help isolate the best facility layout. Expected trips will be examine in Part Two. Layout is complicated by multiple, often competing, objectives such as: the nogmind - U . minimize investment in equipment 08- - ekdonzabnu -X . minimize overall production time provide for employee/customer convenience maintain flexibility of arrangement/operations minimize material handling cost utilize existing space most efficiently These can have a significant effect on productivity and cost.provided here: 1. Consider the total number of expected trips between departments and make a table. One if TO 2 3 FROM A 5 6 1 X 55 7 11 9 1 2 X 66 80 25 4 3 X 33 21 2 4 X 55 5 sum X 63 2.

Consider the total number of expected trips between departments. Prioritize these trips. FOR CREDIT: Use these values and their priorities to construct a second facility layout based on these values. Upload your second facility layout based on these values to the appropriate Assignment folder
