ABSTRACT

An applinatinn of the Automated Desi.gn Layout

"Program (ALDEP) is presented whereby deDartmental areas

were allocated within a proposed seven story facility

for the Birmingham Social Security Payment Center. The

criterion used for assignment of departmental facilities

to areas was material or folder flow betwecn departments.

The final layout proposed was hand adjusted to produce a

more aesthetic and practical design.

I. INTRODUCTION

A proposal has been made to construct a seven story

office facility to house the entire Social Security Birming-

ham Payment C6nter, due to the limited space now available.

At the present time the center is located in five separate

buildings: (1) The Social Security Building, (2) The

Athens Building, (3) The Eastwood Mall Building, (4) The

Citizens Federal Savings and Loan Building, and (5) The

713 Building.

These separate locations make communications and trans-

portation a major problem. Currently the payment center is

divided into several broad departments. The extreme size of

some of the departments, i.e., Post Entitlement, Awards

Processing, and Claims Authorization, creates the difficulty

of allocating space in determining flow. The word flow is

used here to connotate folder flow within the payment center,

ý ich has over 3,000,000 folders on file and over 100,000

folders in operation daily.

At present the payment center's work is partially con-

ducted manual-y, but the majority is done by the RCA Spectra

70 Model computer. The IBM-360-30 Model computer is used

presently for case control so that the location of any given

folder can be found at any time.

IT. ALDEP - THE APPROACH FOLLOWED

Since the problem of laying out a seven story building

is suite complicated a computer program was chosen to aid

Page 6: L THEMIS · 2018-11-09 · in the layout. The cQmputer is not only ubianed, but it can consider a great number of different layouts in a relatively short period of time. ALDEP (Automated

in the layout. The cQmputer is not only ubianed, but it

can consider a great number of different layouts in a

relatively short period of time.

ALDEP (Automated Layout Design Program) wac chosen due

to the fact that it was a "multi-story" program, although it

is limited to three stories at a time. Prior to comparative

studies, ALDEP was originally developed using the random

selection technique by Jerrold M. Seehof and Wayne 0. Evans,

both of IBM. ALDEP applies a programming method of decision

rule making to create block layouts. Many block layouts are

created and the better layouts are selected. The output is

in the form of a matrix printout representing the better

layouts. Layouts are scored on the basis of interorganiza-

tional preference and the score is the summation of the prefer-

ence values which are explained later in the report.

As was mentioned ALDEP can handle up to three floors at

a time and does not require an initial layout. Any number

of departments can be fixed either as to a specific area on

a floor or just to the specific floor. A fixed department may

be an actual department or such things as aisles, stairwells,

restrooms, etc., which are called dummy departments. ALDEP,

therefore, eliminates the task of hand constructing numerous

block layouts, and any number of desired layouts will be

produced from the thousands of possibilities the program

considers. It is important to note that the program is only

a tool and that the layouts produced are based on the problem

definition and the input given by the planner.

I11. NECESSAFRY INPUT DATA

The ALDEP input data can be grouped into four major

tables:

(1) Layout Control Table(2) Department Area Table(3) Preference Table(4) Preassign Table

The Layout Gontrol Table is used to give the area

available for the departments and the size of the floors of

the building. The data needed are:

(a) The square feet available for departmentplacement on the floors; This area excludesdummy departments.

(b) The width of the floors,(c) The depth of floors,(d) The number of layouts to be tried.

The Department Area Table contains:

(a) The department number,(b) The department size.

The Preference Table is the most important table used

by the layout program. Eanh department's preference is given

for each of the other departments.

A preference of:

A has an assigned preference numerical value of 64. This

letter means it is absolutely essential to be located

near a department.

E. lias an assigned preference numerical value of 16. This

letter means it is essential to be located near a

department.

an Rsspigne r, rferenee numerical value of 4. This

leter neans it is important to be located near a

department.

0 has an assigned preference numerical value of 1. This

letter means it is of optional importance to be located

near a department.

U has an assigned preference numerical value of 0. This

letter means it i; unimportant to be located near a

department.

X has an assigned preference numerical value of -102L.

This letter means it is undesirable to be 1)cated near

a department.

S has no assigned preference numerical value. This letber

means same department no preference. This value is a

type of identity value as in an identity matrix.

The Preassign Table tells the program:

(a) If the department should be assigned to a specificfloor or not.

(b) If the department should be assigned to a specificarea on a specific floor or not.

(c) If stairwells, aisles, elevator shafts, restrooms,etc., will be preassigned as a dummy department.

IV. ALDEP METHOD OF PROCESSING DATA

With an understanding of the tables, an understanding of

ALDEP processing is important. The program reads into the

computer the Layout Control Table which creates the layout

of the floors, and assigns positions of the dummy departments

from the Preassign Table. With the Department Area Table

values in the computer memory, a modified random selection

technique is used to process departments. Initially any

available department is randomly selected. This department

is placed on P floor randomly or to a specific location if

it is preassigned. After the selected department is assigned,

the Preference Table for that department is searched to find

any department with a demand preference, that is the prefer-

ence of highest priority such as A, E, or 0. If an available

department is found with a demand preference, this department

is processed next. If no available department is found with

a demand preference a department is selected randomly. This

process is repeated until all departments are processed.

How can one tell if this layout is any better than the

other layouts created? The criterion for evaluation is the

layout score which is the summation of the numerical preference

values of the adjacent departments. For each module (square)

of the building the preference numerical values of the eight

surrounding modules is added to the layout score, which is

a running sum of all the values. The layout score which has

the highest value is the best score since in the Preference

Table an A:61j, ER16, I=4, etc.

A special routine is included to score departments across

an aisle.

Retter block layouts are obtained by using the program

in stages. Thn planner analyzes the first block layouts,

nssigns particular departments to a specific floor or to an

actuial are, on a floor. The computer run with these addi-

tional pr'asissirgnents is submitted for more random block

Lvc-ut•. This process can be repeated until the complete

S-n • is essign-d.

V. DATA FORMULATION IN ALDEP FORMAT

The Layout Control Table was determined from proposed

plans of the seven story facility. Ten foot squares were

chosen as the most compatible area size for the ALDEP

format.(A-i)

Initially the payment center was divided into six

major departments - receiving and files, awards processing,

post entitlement, claims authorization, reconsideration,

and PRP. The extreme size of the departments, however, would

create difficulty in allocating space requirements. Therefore,

in establishing the department area table, it became obvious

that the various branches should be subdivided into smaller

units in order to fully utilize the ALDEF approach. By doing

this, not only will major branches be layed out, but also

the subdepartments within each branch will be layed out accord-

ing to their preferences.

Current areas of each of these departments were then

determined using given data. Total Present area occupied

by the payment center was divided into the total available

area of the new building to give a correction factor of 1.492.

Arec. in the new facility were obtained by multiplying the

present areas of each department by this factor. (A-2)

To establish the preference table a criterion had to

be found for deLermining interorganizational preferenzes.

This might be considered the most important step, since the

results of the entire problem depend upon the chosen criterion.

The1 c~rtterion must not be so general so as to make it

inapplicable to each department, but must be , reasurable

quantity.

The initial step taken to establish the criterion was

a complete technical tour of the entire payment center. This

tour gave an overall picture of the operations and organiza-

tions fVr the payment center. From this tour, two alternatives

for criterion were chosen: (1) personnel flow and (2) folder

or material flow. From this point in the report, folder flow

will refer to all material flow, since all incoming mail is

immediately associated with a fteder and moves throughout

the center in the folder.

After further reflection on the proposed situation, per-

sonnel flow was dropped from consideration. Since the new

building will house the entire payment center, pers..onnel

flow between separate buildings, which now occurs, will be

eliminated. Also, a vertical conveyor system will be in-

stalled in the new building, thus eliminating the need for

the majority of personnel flow between floors.

As was previously mentioned, there are over 100,000

f'olders in operation daily moving between departments.

Presently folders are nct transported between departments

individuallý, but are accumulated into large batches and

carried in a cart. This movement occurs only a few times

dq;l,; between specified departments. Since all work in a

Sdeaurtnent is centered around the folder and t...e involved

fn- Poving folders between departments could affect production

rrites. a minimization of folder flow will increase the overall

efftciency of the payment center. Therefore, folder flow

was chosen as the criterion for determining interdepartmental

preferences.

Once the criterion was chosen, appropriate data was

collected. Interviews with chiefs of the various branches

were collected. From these interviews the folder flow of

each department to and from all other departments was deter-

mined.

A flowchart of the entire payment center was constructed

to give an overall view of folder movement. (A-3) It is

important to note that in this diagram, the values given

represent total flow in and out of the departments.

From the total interdepartmental folder flow, inter-

organizational preferences were determined for each department

(A-4). A-5 shows a sample calculation in determining one of

these preferences. It should be noted that the larger of the

two percentages, i.e., 53.7%, was chosen. In every case the

larger percentage was chosen as it was deemed to be more

important because it represented the maximum flow between

the departments.

A percentage range was assigned to each of the preference

values. The previously chosen percentage of 53.7 was then

compared to these ranges to determine into which one it

fell. Since it fell into the 40%-60% range, a corresponding

value of I was assigned to the relationship of claims control to

files maintenance. In this manner the entire preference table

was constructed. (A-h)

The areas to be frozen throughout the building were

then specified for the Preassign Table. kA-6). Thise areas

constituted aisles, the core of the building, the restrooms

and stairwells not included in the core and conference rooms.

The comput6r room was also frozen to a specific area on the

third floor as dictated by the building requirements.

Once all the tables were completed the actual ALDEP

computer runs were made. The problem of determining which

department to put in which set of three floors was simpli-

fied by the restrictions within the payment center: for

example, the Computer Room and subsequently other closely

related departments had to be placed on the third floor;

Files Maintenance required a whole f'oor; and many management

oriented departments were restricted to the seventh floor.

After the initial runs a minimum acceptable layout

score was inserted into the program to determine the final

layouts. This ninimum score was the maximum score of the

initial runs.

The best final ALDEP runs are given in (A-7 to A-10).

However, to produce a more aesthetic and practical design,

some alterations in the layouts were made. The final hand

adjusted layout of each floor can be found in (A-11 to

A-1S).

VI. CONCLUSIONS

It was concluded that the final ALDEP computer runs

produced a configuration as close to optimal as possible

with the constraints imposed by the input data.

ALDEP is indeed a useful tool to use as an aid in the

layout of multi-story facilities. Many more configurations

were considered than would have been possible by hand, and,

therefore, a better design probably resulted. ALDEP is

only a tool, however, since the final computer runs had

to be hand adjusted for practical considerations.

The use of folder flow as a criterion for determining

interdepartmental preferences was a logical choice for

this office facility, since all paperwork was linked to

the folders concerned. It should be kept in mind, however,

that since the layout is based on folder flow, it may not

be best for other criteria.

VII. RECONMENDATIONS

It is recommended that the final layouts shown in

Appendices 11-18 be implemented in the proposed building.

If in the future an enlargement of the building is

decided upon or the original plans are altered in any way,

it is further recommended that a similar approach be used

to aid in laying out the facilities, i.e., a computer assisted

facility location.
