Question

Process layout is employed for:

• A. batch production
• B. continuous type of product
• C. effective utilisation of machine
• D. all of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

A. batch production

Process layout is recommended for batch production, where machines performing similar operations are grouped together. This layout is used when production volume is not sufficient for a product layout. On the other hand, product layout is preferred for continuous production, where machines are arranged in the sequence of operation on raw material.
