DEVELO PING CRITICAL-THINKING SKILLS
Plant layout-the arrangement of machinery, equipment, and personnel within a production facility-is a critical ingredient in a company's success. If the layout is inefficient, productivity-and, ultimately, profits-will suffer. The purpose of the business dictates the type of layout that will be most efficient. There are three general types: process layout, product layout, and fixed-position layout.
Assignment
1. For each of the following businesses, identify the best type of layout:
One-hour dry cleaner
Health club
Auto repair shop
Fast-food restaurant
Shipyard that builds supertankers
Automobile assembly plant
2. Prepare a two-page report explaining why you chose these layouts and why proper plant layout is important.
