INDU 421: FACILITIES DESIGN AND MATERIAL HANDLING SYSTEMS


PROBLEM 1

• Given the relationship chart below determine the sequence of the placement of the departments in the
layout based on the CORELAP algorithm. Find the best layout assuming that all the departments are of
equal size. Use these closeness values: A=4, E=3, I=2, O=1, U=0, X=-4 and consider half weight if the
departments are only touching by one point.

PROBLEM 2

• Use ALDEP procedure to determine the layout vector and construct the block layout for the facility
based on the relationship chart and the departmental dimensions given below. Evaluate your layout with
adjacency score and efficiency rating. The dimensions of the building are 90ftx150ft. Use the sweep width
of 3, the minimum acceptable level of importance E and the following closeness values: A=64, E=16, I=4,
O=1, U=0, X=-1024.

PROBLEM 3

• Consider BLOCPLAN. Suppose the following REL-chart and layout are given for a five department prob-
lem. (It is assumed that each grid in the layout represents a unit square.) Further suppose that the
following scoring vector is being used: A=10, E=5, O=1, U=0, and X=-10.
