Case Study:
Abhijeet has recently bought an empty shop. He has decided to put his TV repair shop in it.
"I need a table for myself, a table for my accountant. Then I need to have one reception table where customers will first bring their TV for repair. I will do a first check of the TV here and note the complaint in a 'Job-Sheet'. Then I will pass the TV on to a Repair stage. I think I will need two repair stages and of course I will store all spare parts in a storage rack." Abhijeet then drew a to-scale
Layout Diagram of his TV repair shop.
