• B. Process layout
• C. Group layout
• D. Fixed position layout

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Product layout

The textile industry uses a line organization structure where the line of authority flows from top to bottom and responsibility flows from bottom to top. Each department works as a self-supporting unit, and department heads have complete control over their sections. This structure is efficient for a business that focuses on production and sales. Other types of organization structures include functional organization, where specialists perform specific functions, and line and staff organization, where line heads are assisted by specialist staff.
