Discussion
Consider the following pairs of layout type and the situation it suits:
Process layout - Low volume and a wide product range
Product layout - High volume and a narrow range
Product layout - Minimum material handling
Process layout - Maximum flexibility for a single product
How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?
Answer: B
Correct answer: Only three
Three pairs are right: process layout for low volume and a wide range, product layout for high volume and a narrow one, and product layout for minimum handling - the material moves in a straight line. The fourth reverses the argument: process layout gives flexibility across many products, not for a single one, and for a single product a product layout is better in every respect.
