Question

Problem 3 swer the following questions for MULTIPLE 4 POINTS) a. Consider four departments (labeled A through D) with the following area requirements grids, B 3 grids, C-4 grids, and D-2 grids. Using the spacefilling curve shown below the layout that would be obtained from the sequence A-B-C-D b. Using the data given for part a and the spacefilling curve shown above, show the layout that would be obtained by exchanging departments B and lD

Answer 1

The spacefilling curve shown has in total 32 spots of a total size 16 grids. For ease of numbering, we shall number the grid numerically as noted below:

1	0.75	A
2	0.25	A
3	0.50	A
