In an attempt to be fair to the workers in each of the production stations, management has decided to try to find the position of the tool bin that would minimize the sum of the distances from the tool bin to the five production stations. we define the following decision variables: x = horizontal location of the tool bin y = vertical location of the tool bin we may measure the straight line distance from a station to the tool bin located at (x, y) by using euclidean (straight-line) distance. for example, the distance from fabrication located at the coordinates (1,4) to the tool bin located at the coordinates (x, y) is given by .
