Two alternate layouts are given. The alternate layout is as follows:
Now let us calculate the wd score where w stands for movement between departments and d stands for rectilinear distance between departments:
Trips (from - to) Distance (d) No. of trips (w) Score wd (w * d)
1----2 1 7 7
1---3 2 12 24
1---5 1 9 9
1----6 1 5 5
2---4 1 3 3
3---5 1 7 7
3---6 1 10 10
4---6 1 3 3
5---6 2 14 28
Total = 96
Therefore, total wd score for alternate is 96
Hence alternate layout is better than the first one having wd score of 119 on the basis of wd scores.
