A consultant needs to locate four departments-waiting room (W) ,checkup room (c) ,laboratory (L) ,and exercise room (E) -in four areas (I,II,III,IV) of a new facility.He wants to minimize interdepartmental transportation costs associated with the nurses escorting patients,which he expects to be $.10 per patient per metre.He has prepared the following distance and flow matrices: What is the distance (in metres) from area IV to area II in this new facility?

The cycle time (CT) necessary in a product layout is determined by:

Which of the following is not an advantage of automation?

A company is designing a product layout for a new product.It plans to use this production line eight hours a day in order to meet projected demand of 480 units per day.The tasks necessary to produce this product: If the company desires that output rate equal demand,what is the desired cycle time (in seconds) ?

A company needs to locate three departments (X,Y,and Z) in the three areas (1,2,and 3) of a new facility.They want to minimize interdepartmental transportation costs,which are expected to be $.50 per load metre moved.An analyst has prepared the following flow and distance matrices: What is the layout that will minimize the total distance loads will be moved each week?

A job shop processing system tends to utilize highly flexible general-purpose equipment.

Product layouts achieve high utilization of labour and equipment.
