The refrigerators are located next to each other as are the dishwashing facilities. A work area of tabletops is set aside for cutting, mixing, dough rolling, and assembling of final servings, although different table areas may be reserved for each of these functions. Given the following Interdepartmental Activity Matrix, develop an appropriate layout for Lori’s Kitchen. ABCD The present layout is below with a distance of 10 feet between adjacent areas.
