Question

Which of the following layout has the properties of both line and functional layouts

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

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Group layout

Group layout is a combination of product and process layouts, minimizing intercell movements and transportation costs. It standardizes components, increases productivity, and decreases overall cost. However, it may not be feasible for dissimilar product mixes. Product layout is a strict line layout producing only one type of product, while process layout groups machines performing similar operations. Fixed-position layout has a stationary major component and brings supporting equipment to it.
