Table 912
a Company with a Process Layout Wants to Rearrange

Table 9.12
A company with a process layout wants to rearrange its facility in the space available. There are six departments, and the flow among them is given in the following trip matrix. The shape and the size of the space available is also given. Assume rectilinear distances.
Trips Between Departments
$$\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | } \hline & \mathrm { A } & \mathrm { B } & \mathrm { C } & \mathrm { D } & \mathrm { E } & \mathrm { F } \\\hline \mathrm { A } & - & 8 & 3 & 0 & 9 & 6 \\\mathrm {~B} & & - & 0 & 8 & 0 & 0 \\\mathrm { C } & & & - & 0 & 8 & 9 \\\mathrm { D } & & & & - & 0 & 3 \\\mathrm { E } & & & & & - & 3 \\\mathrm {~F} & & & & & & - \\\hline\end{array}$$
Location Positions
$$\begin{array} { | l | l | l | } \hline 1 & 2 & 3 \\\hline 4 & 5 & 6 \\\hline\end{array}$$
-Use the information from Table 9.12.What is the load-distance score if the departments were assigned as follows? (Continue assuming rectilinear distances.)

A) less than or equal to 80
B) more than 80 but less than or equal to 100
C) more than 100 but less than or equal to 120
D) more than 120
