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?

a. Assembly-line layout
b. Fixed-position layout
c. Modular layout
d. Process layout

Answer 1

B. Fixed-position layout.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fixed-position layout is where the product stays stationary while workers come to the product site to build it. Fixed-position layouts are ideal for products that are large, heavy, or too fragile to move.
