Laboratory Experiment 2 EMAN 257 and MECH 256 Instructor: Dr. A. Gosavi Spring 2

Laboratory Experiment 2 EMAN 257 and MECH 256 Instructor: Dr. A. Gosavi Spring 2011 A manufacturing facility consists of five departments 1 2 3 4 and 5. It produces four components having manufacturing product routings and production volumes indicated below. Component Production Routing Units per week 1 1-2-3-4-5 20 2 2-3-5-1 25 3 4-5-3 10 4 5-4-3-2-1 30 1. Generate the from-to matrix and the interaction matrix. Use a transportation batch size of 1. 2. Assume A for 85-66 trips E for 65-46 trips I for 45-26 trips O for 25-6 trips and U for 5-0 trips.

Assume A for 85-66 trips E for 65-46 trips I for 45-26 trips O for 25-6 trips and U for 5-0 trips. Use A=8 E =4 I = 2 O=1 and U =0 in your layout calculations. Employ the software FLAP to determine a suitable layout. Department 1 and 2 have areas of 20 units each while Departments 3 4 and 5 are 30 units each. 3. Assume that it costs 5 dollars per unit distance for material-handling. Estimate the amount of the material-handling cost incurred per week for each layout recommended by FLAP. 4. Is it possible to improve on this layout?
