(a)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: Considering Problem 28 of this chapter and supposing that two new machines, A and B have to be located in the shop, such that A has 18,18,14,1 and 16 as the expected numbers of loadings being transported to the five existing machines, respectively and B has 14,16,3,15 and 12 as the expected numbers of loadings being transported, respectively. Furthermore supposing that there are a minimum of two loads per hour on an average being transported between the new machines and assuming a rectilinear distance measurement, the problem of determining the most appropriate locations of the new machines as a linear program needs to be worked out.

Concept Introduction: When the differences between the x and y coordinates are added, then it gives the Recti-linear distance between the two points along an orthogonal path.
