From-To Chart

• Determines which of the two departments

has a better from-to matrix, we can calculate
the moment of the matrix as follows:
Moment   d ij f
ij
(i , j )

where
d ij
 distance of the (i, j) entry from the diagonal

f ij
 the (i, j) entry in the matrix

CRAFT: Distance Between Two
Departments
• Consider the problem of finding the distance between two adjacent
departments, separated by a line only.
• People needs walking to move from one department to another, even
when the departments are adjacent.
• An estimate of average walking required is obtained from the distance
between centroids of two departments.
• The distance between two departments is taken from the distance
between their centroids.
• People walks along some rectilinear paths. An Euclidean distance
between two centroids is not a true representative of the walking
required. The rectilinear distance is a better approximation.
• So, Distance (A,B) = rectilinear distance between centroids of
departments A and B

CRAFT: Distance Between Two
Departments
• Let
– Centroid of Department A =  xA , y A 
– Centroid of Department B =  xB , yB 

• Then, the distance between departments A and B, Dist(A,B)

 x A  xB  y A  y B

• Ex: the distance between departments A and C is the rectilinear

distance between their centroids (30,75) and (80,35). Distance (A,C)

 x A  xC  y A  yC  30  80  75  35  90
