The following layout is for a manufacturing facility that has five departments (A, B, C, D, and E). A layout has been developed in discrete representation as shown below. The routing information, production quantity, and movement factor for each product are given in the table below.
1) Develop a from-to chart.
2) List all department pairs that CRAFT and Multiple would consider for exchanging in the layout below.
3) Draw three possible layouts resulting from exchanging departments A and C by CRAFT.
