In Example 10.2, suppose that the vehicles operate according to the following scheduling rule in order to minimize the distances the vehicle travel empty: vehicles delivering raw work parts from station 1 to stations 2, 3, and 4 must pick up finished parts at these respective stations for delivery to station 5. (a) Determine the empty travel distances associated with each delivery and develop a from-to chart in the format of Table 10.5 (b) The AGVs travel at a speed of 50 m/min and the traffic factor = 0.90. Assume reliability = 100%. From Example 10.2, the delivery distance Ld = 103.8 m. Determine the value of Le. (c) How many automated guided vehicles will be required to operate the system?

![EXAMPLE 10.2 Determining La for a More-Complex AGVS Layout
The layout for this example is shown in Figure 10.15, and the from-to chart is presented in Table 10.5. The AGVS includes load
station 1 where raw parts enter the system for delivery to any of three production stations 2, 3, and 4. Unload station 5 receives finished
parts from the production stations. Load and unload times at stations 1 and 5 are each 0.5 min. Production rates for each workstation are
indicated by the delivery requirements in Table 10.5 Q. A complicating factor is that some parts must be transshipped between stations 3
and 4. Vehicles move in the direction indicated by the arrows in the figure. Determine the average delivery distance, Ld.
