Solve FE-style Facilities Supply Chain questions and learn the reasoning behind each answer through interactive engineering cases.
Site A had the higher simple average freight rate, but most demand was on its low-cost lane. Demand-weighted annual cost made Site A $10,000 cheaper.

Three machines looked sufficient at 100% theoretical availability. At the planned 80% utilization, the cell required four machines.
Layout A had the shorter average distance, but its busiest material-flow pair was much farther apart. Weighted load-distance made Layout B the better design.
Practice the calculations, assumptions, constraints, and failure modes that appear around this topic. Each question here is designed to test whether you can apply the concept when the obvious calculation is not the whole engineering decision.
