Explain how a load-distance model helps solve problems in process layout
What will be an ideal response?
The problem in process layout is to arrange departments or work centers so as to minimize the costs of material handling. The load-distance model calculates the amount shipped multiplied by the cost per load of these movements from department to department, and so it can find that set of departmental space assignments that minimizes the aggregate material handling cost.
