1. The document provides flow data and instructions to analyze facility layout problems. It asks to measure flow dominance, create a flow graph and initial layout with high-flow departments close together. 2. Using the same flow data but with added separation of departments C and E, it asks to create a REL chart and solve for layout assuming equal department sizes. 3. It provides a REL chart and asks to create an initial layout using total closeness rating and improve it through pairwise exchanges. 4. It provides data for a four department layout problem and asks to set up the quadratic assignment problem to find the optimal layout and improve the solution through exchanges. 5. It provides patient flow data for a hospital

Develop a corresponding Flow Graph and try to create a reasonable layout by locating
ressources with high flow close to each other.
2. Using the flow data of Exercice 1, and the added information that department C and E
must be separated, create a REL chart. Solve the facility location problem for this
chart, assuming those departments have equal size.
3. Consider the REL chart below and assume that all departments are similar in size.
Using quantitative method based on Total Closeness Rating, creat initial layout and try
to improve it by pair-wise exchange.

1. Setupt the quadratic assignment problem to find the optimal layout.


2. Estimate an initial lower boun for total location cost.
3. Improve the solution by exchanging positions of the departments.

4. The Snow-Bird Hospital is a small emergency-oriented facility located in a popular ski


resort area. Its new administrator, Mary Lord, decides to reorganise the hospital, using
the process-layout method. The current layout is shown below.

The only physical restriction is the need to keep the entrance and initial processing room in its
current location. All other departments or room (each of 10 feet square) can be moved.
Marys first step is to analyse records in order to determine the number of trips made by
patients between departments in an average month. The data are shown below. The objective
Ms. Lord decides is to layout the rooms so as to minimise the total distance walked by
patients who enter for treatment.

in terms of patient flow.
