Validates Cell Layout Design effects.
TC-7: Physical layout significantly impacts performance
Balance Delay Loss formula: D = (n × CT - Σ task_times) / (n × CT)
where n = number of stations, CT = cycle time
U-line and cell layouts reduce balance delay through:
- Better work distribution
- Reduced transportation waste
- Easier load balancing
§Errors
This function always returns Ok. The Result type is for consistency.
