samplings over the last three months, the following trip matrix was developed for daily trips between departments.
$$\begin{array}{l}\text { Trip Matrix (trips/day) }\\\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | } \hline & \mathrm { A } & \mathrm { B } & \mathrm { C } & \mathrm { D } & \mathrm { E } & \mathrm { F } \\\hline \mathrm { A } & - & 10 & 75 & & & 140 \\\mathrm {~B} & & - & & & 95 & \\\mathrm { C } & & & - & & 130 & 130 \\\mathrm { D } & & & & - & 10 & \\\mathrm { E } & & & & & - & 95 \\\mathrm {~F} & & & & & & - \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}$$
-Use the information in Table 10.9. One block plan suggested for the department looks as follows:
$$\begin{array} { | l | l | l | } \hline C & \mathrm {~F} & \mathrm {~A} \\\hline \mathrm { B } & \mathrm { E } & \mathrm { D } \\\hline\end{array}$$
