Computing the Load * Distance measure:

Load * Distance

A to B 7 * 10 70
A to C 193*20 3860

A to D 12*30 360
B to C 4*10 40

B to D 82*20 1640

C to D 222*10 2220
Total 8190

Develop a preferred layout. What is the sum of the loads * distance of your new layout?

Solution:

From the Activity Matrix, C and D should be next to each other and A should be next to C.
The other relationships are minor by comparison. One possible solution is:

B A C D

with a distance of 10 feet between adjacent areas.
