Chapter 9, Problem 4P
Roy Creasey Enterprises, a machine shop, is planning to move to a new, larger location. The new building will be 60 feet long by 40 feet wide. Creasey envisions the building as having six distinct production areas, roughly equal in size. He feels strongly about safety and intends to have marked pathways throughout the building to facilitate the movement of people and materials. See the following building schematic.
Building Schematic (with work areas 1–6)
His foreman has completed a month-long study of the number of loads of material that have moved from one process to another in the current building. This information is contained in the following flow matrix.
Flow Matrix Between Production Processes
Finally, Creasey has developed the following matrix to indicate distances between the work areas shown in the building schematic.
What is the appropriate layout of the new building?

Show your step-by-step process using the SPECIAL PURPOSE LINEAR PROGRAMMING: ASSIGNMENT METHOD to solve this problem.
Four Engineers are to work on 4 projects of Dora Company. The problem is to decide which engineer should be assigned to which project. Each engineer charges different fees on each project, due to distances of the projects and the complexity of the work. The cost of assigning particular engineers to particular projects are as stated below. The objective is to find the lease cost of assignment.
Engineer 1 to Projects A, B, C, D = $11k, $8k, $10k, $7k respectively.Engineer 2 to Projects A, B, C, D = $6k, $5k, $3k, $8k respectively.Engineer 3 to Projects A, B, C, D = $4k, $8k, $10k, $9k respectively.Engineer 4 to Projects A, B, C, D = $11k, $10k, $5k, $7k respectively.

Specifically, they have to determine which set pieces to construct and which, if any, set pieces to rent from another local theater at a predetermined fee. However, the organization has only two weeks to fully construct the set before the play goes into technical rehearsals. The theater has two part-time carpenters who work up to 12 hours a week, each at $10 an hour. Additionally, the theater has a part-time scenic artist who can work 15 hours per week to paint the set and props as needed at a rate of $15 per hour. The set design requires 20 flats (walls), two hanging drops with painted scenery, and three large wooden tables (props). The number of hours required for each piece for carpentry and painting is shown below: Gardner Theater Hours Required/Piece Carpentry Painting Flats 0.5 2.0 Hanging Drops 2.0 12.0 Props 3.0 4.0 Hours Available 48.0…arrow_forward
- Case- R. C. Coleman’s Warehouse Project C. Coleman distributes a variety of food products that are sold through grocery store and supermarket outlets. The company receives orders directly from the individual outlets, with a typical order requesting the delivery of several cases of anywhere from 20 to 50 different products. Under the company’s current warehouse operation, warehouse clerks dispatch order-picking personnel to fill each order and have the goods moved to the warehouse shipping area Because of the high labor costs and relatively low productivity of hand order picking, management has decided to automate the warehouse operation by installing a computer-controlled order-picking system along with a conveyor system for moving goods from storage to the warehouse shipping area. R. C. Coleman’s director of material management has been named the project manager in charge of the automated warehouse system.
