Document Summary
Process layouts are designed to process items or provide series that involve a variety of processing requirements. Layout is arranging your process flow in a facility. Process types: job shop operates on a relatively small scale. Used when a low volume of high variety goods or service are needed. High flexibility with general-purpose equipment and skilled workers. Tool and die shop: batch used when a moderate volume of goods and services are desired and can handle a moderate variety in products or services. Skill level of workers don"t need to be high as a job shop. Airlines: repetitive/assembly when higher volumes of more standardized goods or services are needed, repetitive processing is used. Standardized output means only slight flexibility of equipment. Production lines and assembly lines: continuous very high volume of nondiscrete, highly standardizes output is desired. Almost no variety in output, no need for equipment flexibility. Skills requirement range from high to low, depending on complexity of system.
