PS.63 An insurance claims processing company moves paperwork among four process steps. Each process step is performed in four separate areas. Each area is located on the same side of a corridor with a distance of 39 feet between each area. We'll call this existing arrangement Layout 1. Layout 1 Area A ←39 ft→ Area B ←39 ft→ Area C ←39 ft→ Area D ← Corridor → In an effort to become more efficient, the company is looking to move two of these areas across the corridor. The distance across the corridor is 9 feet and the distance between areas down the corridor is still 39 feet. (For example, going from A to B is 39 feet; C to D is also 39 feet. A to C is 9 feet; B to D is also 9 feet. And for the purposes of this problem, the distance from A to D is 40 feet, as is the distance from B to C.) We'll call this proposed arrangement Layout 2. Layout 2 Area A ←39 ft→ Area B ↓9 ft ↑ ← Corridor → ↓ 9 ft ↑ Area C ←39 ft→ Area D The table below shows the load between areas.
