From-To Chart

CRAFT is a facility layout optimization tool that takes an initial layout as input along with flow and cost data. It can evaluate the current layout, identify improvements, and test different department rearrangements like pairwise or three-way exchanges to find a better layout. It calculates distances between departments based on the rectilinear distance between their centroid coordinates to estimate travel requirements.

• Determines which of the two departments


has a better from-to matrix, we can calculate
the moment of the matrix as follows:
Moment   d ij f
ij
(i , j )

where
d ij
 distance of the (i, j) entry from the diagonal

f ij
 the (i, j) entry in the matrix

CRAFT: Distance Between Two
Departments
• Consider the problem of finding the distance between two adjacent
departments, separated by a line only.
• People needs walking to move from one department to another, even
when the departments are adjacent.
• An estimate of average walking required is obtained from the distance
between centroids of two departments.
• The distance between two departments is taken from the distance
between their centroids.
• People walks along some rectilinear paths. An Euclidean distance
between two centroids is not a true representative of the walking
required. The rectilinear distance is a better approximation.
• So, Distance (A,B) = rectilinear distance between centroids of
departments A and B

CRAFT: Distance Between Two
Departments
• Let
– Centroid of Department A =  xA , y A 
– Centroid of Department B =  xB , yB 

• Then, the distance between departments A and B, Dist(A,B)

 x A  xB  y A  y B

• Ex: the distance between departments A and C is the rectilinear


distance between their centroids (30,75) and (80,35). Distance (A,C)

 x A  xC  y A  yC  30  80  75  35  90
