Question

Adrian is part of a team that builds and assembles wind turbines. Because the turbines are so large, the team travels to the building in which they are housed so all workers can congregate around the turbine engine, blades, and controller to complete its construction. What facility layout is most appropriate for this type of process?\

Answer 1

The most appropiate facility layout for wind turbines will be the Fixed Position Layout.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the wind turbines volume, the fixed position offers less material movement because the raw material or major components are fixed to an specific location and the tools and remaining materials are brought to the site. One of the major disadvantages of this layout is that the manpower must be highly skilled and the tools and other equipment movement can take more than than usual.
