    Computerized Relative Allocation of Facility Technique(CRAFT)

    Introduced in 1963 by Armour, Buffa, and Vollman. CRAFT is a tool used to help help improve the the existing layout of the facilities. The facility is improved b by switching ttwo or three three departments to help arrange the facility in an optimal floor plan.

    Computerized Relative Allocation of Facility Technique(CRAFT)

    This procedure requires the following inputs: o From-To Chart, o Cost Matrix, o Distances (determined for a given layout) and an Initial layout. Craft is used when the number of departments is so large that the computation by hand would be very intensive and make the improvement not worth the time for many companies.

    Computerized Relative Allocation of Facility Technique(CRAFT)

    CRAFT requirements: o Initial layout o Flow data o Cost per unit distance

    o Total number of departments


    o F Fixed d departments and d their llocation o Area of departments

    Computerized Relative Allocation of Facility Technique(CRAFT)

    Example: consider the following layout problem with unit cost matrix. Use Craft algorithm to obtain layout. The

    initial layout and the flow matrix is shown below

    COmputerized RElationship LAyout Planning (CORELAP) Developed for main frame computers Adjacencybased method o CORELAP uses A=4, E=3, I=2, O=1, U=0 and X=1 values Selection of the departments to enter the layout is based on Total Closeness Rating. Total Closeness Rating (TCR) for a department is the f the numericall values assigned d to the closeness l sum of relationships between the department and all other departments.

    ALDEP Procedure Department selection o Randomly selects the first o Out of those departments which have A department relationship with the first one (or E, I, etc. min level of importance is determined by the user) it selects randomly the second department. o If no such department exists it selects the second nd ml n completely r randomly one o The selection procedure is repeated until all the departments are selected
