Question 1

The flow and distance data in the table below were input into a layout software program, and solved by "pairwise comparison." That solution called for assignments A-4, B-1, C-3, and D-2, with a total movement of 2430. Verify that result. Is that solution optimal? Can you offer an improved solution? What is the total movement of your alternate solution?

Flow Table	A	B	C	D	Fixed room
A	0	5	8	3
B	0	0	7	6
C	0	2	0	9
D	5	12	4	0

Distance Table	Room 1	Room 2	Room 3	Room 4
Room 1	0	30	60	80
Room 2	30	0	30	50
Room 3	60	30	0	20
Room 4	80	50	20	0
