Discussion
For the same volume of production, process layout needs ................. space as compared to product layout.
Answer: C
Process layout needs more space than product layout for the same output.
In a process (functional) layout, similar machines are grouped into departments and jobs move between them in different sequences. Material travels farther, work waits between operations, and room is needed for work-in-progress stocks and for aisles and handling, so floor space requirements are higher.
In a product (line) layout, machines are arranged in the sequence of operations for one product, material flows straight through and little work-in-progress builds up, so it uses space more economically. The space difference is well established, so it can be determined and is not equal.
