Cumulative 91,250
From the table, the cumulative "load x distance" = 91,050 Feet
Based on the flows, one should expect that the Centers A and B will be next to each
other as they have the highest number of moves (830) between each other
Based on the flows, one should expect that the Centers C and D will be next to each
other as they have the highest number of moves (725) between each other

b. The flows between A and the other two work centers B or C will be independent of
whether they are placed between A and D or not as A would be only 30 away from them
in either of the positions. So, the number of flows between B or C and D will decide
which work center will be placed in between A and D
Total number of moves between B and D = Number of moves between B and D +
number of moves between D and B
=0+0=0
Total number of moves between C and D = Number of moves between C and D +
number of moves between D and C
= 725 + 0 = 725
Hence, the work center that should be located between A and D is 'C'
The distance grid will be as follows

A B C D
A 0 30 30 60
B 30 0 60 90
C 30 60 0 30

Cycle time = 10 min

Workstation = ∑ti / cycle time

∑ti = 5 + 1.5 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3.5 + 2 + 2 2.9 approx 3

Efficiency = total task time / (actual number of workstation x largest assigned cycle time)
= 0.966667 it is 96% efficient hence theoretical minimum will be reached when workstation are
assigned

a. Total Cost for Plan A = Total demand weighted distance * Cost per workpiece per feet
= [(600*20) + (1800*12) + (200*8) + (400*6) + (200*10) + (1800*4)]* 0.5
= $ 23400

b. Similarly, for plan B, Total Cost = Total demand weighted distance * Cost per workpiece
per feet
= [(600*20) + (1800*8) + (200*12) + (400*10) + (200*6) + (1800*4)]* 0.5
= $ 20600

c. Total Cost for Plan C = Total demand weighted distance * Cost per workpiece per feet
= [(600*20) + (1800*10) + (200*6) + (400*8) + (200*12) + (1800*4)]* 0.5
= $ 22000

d. Plan B has the lwoest total cost of $ 20600. Hence, Plan B is the best layout from a cost
perspective

b. Cycle time = production time available per day

Unit required per day = 480 minutes
480 minutes / 50 chairs = 9.6 ~ 10 mins / chair

c. Total task time = 4 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 6 = 49 mins

Minimum number of workstations = total task time = 49 mins
Cycle time 10 mins
 49 mins / 10 mins = 4.9 ~ 5 workstations

e. The idle time per cycle is 10 minutes

f. Idle time = (actual number of workstation x largest assigned cycle time) – total task
times
= (7 x 10) – 8
= 70 – 8
= 62 mins

g. Efficiency = task time / (actual numner of workstation) x (largest assigned cycle

time)
= 49 minutes / (7 stations) x (10 minutes)
= 70%
