Question

An average of 50 customers travel between Departments A and B each day. Unfortunately, Department C is located between Departments A and B, and 5 customers travel between Department C and Department A, while none travel between C and B. What is the load-distance score of this three department layout

Answer 1

Answer: 105

Step-by-step explanation:

Flow Load Distance          Id

A - B 50           2                      100

C-A           5           1                    5

                                      Total = 105

Recall that The load-distance method is a mathematical model used to evaluate locations based on proximity factors. The objective is to select a location that minimizes the total weighted loads moving into and out of the facility. The distance between two points is expressed by assigning the points to grid coordinates on a map.

From the table above, it is shown that there is movement from A - B and from C - A , travelling from A could be done in 2 ways , either from A - B directly or From A - c , and it is said that none travel between C and B .
