Example on Computerized Relative Allocation of Facilities Technique (CRAFT)

❑ Computerized Relative Allocation of Facilities Technique (CRAFT) is an improvement


type layout.
❑ The initial layout is given and, the algorithm computes the distance between the
centers of each facility and determines the cost of the initial layout.
❑ CRAFT was introduced by Gordon C. Armour and Elwood S. Buffa in 1963
❑ CRAFT is tool used to help improve the existing layout of the facilities.
❑ The facility is improved by switching two or three departments to help arrange the
facility in an optimal floor plan.
❑ Craft Algorithm:

Example Apply CRAFT alogorith for the following intital solution a shown in the Figure 1.
There are 5 departments. The total number of interchangebale depertments are 5. The
Table 2 shows cost matrix. The Table 3 shows flow matrix.The Table 4 shows the area of
departments.

Distance between (1,2): D=|2,6| +|2,2| = |2-2=0|+|6-2|= 04 =0+4 = 4 smilarly,
Distance between (1,3): D=|2,6| +|7,2| = |2-7=5|+|6-2|= 04 =5+4 = 9
Thus, Table 5 can be prepared using formula

Flow between (1,2): 5 From Table 3 Given in Example,


Distance between (1,2): 4 From Table 5 Calcuated from Example,
Cost between (1,2): 1 From Table 2 Given in Example
Hence Total cost between (1,2): 5 x 4 x 1=20

Table 6 Total Cost Matrix


Department 1 2 3 4 5

5 0 0 12 0 -

Total cost for the feasible soultion= 20+18+24+10+50+18+30+18+5+12= 205

Calculate New Distance Matrix as shown in Table 7.

Calculate New Total Cost Matrix using Flow * cost x distance as given in Table 8
Flow from Table 3: (1,2)= 5
Table 8 Total Cost Matrix
Department 1 2 3 4 5
1 - 10*5=50 5*2=10 6*4=24 3*0=0

Total cost for the feasible soultion= 50+10+24+10+20+10+30+18+9+12= 193
