Ten labs should be assigned to the circular floor plan shown below. Recalling a similar layout's congestion in the halls, the new lab manager has requested an assignment that will minimize traffic between offices, but movement in the balls is restricted to a counterclockwise route. Develop a suitable layout using the following information. Assign Lab 1 to Location A, Lab 2 to Location I, and Lab 8 to Location E.
