Question

Which layout is suitable for multi-product company carrying out batch production?

• A. Product layout
• B. Process layout
• C. Point layout
• D. All of these

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Process layout

Layout planning in manufacturing and service organisations involves arranging resources to improve performance. Layouts include process, product, group, and fixed-position. Process layout is suitable for a multi-product company carrying out batch production, as it groups similar machines and services together. Product layout is used for high volume production of a single product. Group layout combines the advantages of both layouts.
