Which of the following layouts is suited for mass production?
A. Process layout
B. Product layout
C. Fixed position layout
D. Plant layout
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Work is done in small amounts at each of the work stations on the line.To use the product layout, the total work to be performed must be dividable into small tasks that can be assigned to each of the work stations.
Because the work stations each do small amounts of work, the stations utilize specific techniques and equipment tailored to the individual job they are assigned. This can lead to a higher rate of production.
