product A and product B are 10 and 20 respectively. Both products A and
B gave similar sizes, shapes, and material handling requirements.
a. Construct the from-to chart indicating the number of trips from
one department to another
b. Develop a relationship chart following these rules:
1. “A” for any two departments with a total number of trips
(including both directions) equal to 40 or more
2. “E” for 30 or more but less than 40
3. “I” for 20 or more, but less than 30
4. “O” for 10 or more, but less than 20
