Q3: A firm produces three components. Components 1 and 2 have the same size and weight and are equivalent with respect to movement. Component 3 is almost twice as large, and moving two units of either component 1 or 2 is equivalent to moving 1 unit of component 3. Thus, a movement factor of 2 is assigned to component 3. The departments included in the facility are A, B, C, D, and E. The quantities to be produced and the component routings are as follows:
Production Quantities (per day): 30, 12, 7
Movement Factor:
Equivalent Flows (per day): 30, 12, 14
Component 1, 2
Routing: A-C-B-D-E, A-B-D-E, A-C-D-B-E
