Examples of

1. Product Layout: A product layout refers to a production system where the

workstations and equipment are located along the line of production.
Example) for a garment manufacturer, stations for sewing clothes, sewing on
buttons, inspecting seams, wrapping finished products and boxing them up would
be in close proximity for an individual clothing item, allowing garments to pass
from one station to another quickly.

2. Process Layout: This type of layout gives the firm the flexibility needed to
handle a variety of routes and process requirements.
Example) It would group multiple sewing stations together for different clothing
items in one area then locate inspection, wrapping and packaging stations for
different items together in different areas.

3. Fixed Position Layout: A fixed-position layout lets the product stay in one place
while workers and machinery move to it as needed.
Example) Fixed Position: Products that are impossible to move—ships,
aeroplanes, and construction projects—are typically produced using a
fixed-position layout. The fixed-position layout is also common for on-site
services such as housecleaning services, pest control, and landscaping.

Example) The grid layout is the most common store layout you’re going to find in
retail. Used in supermarkets, drug stores, and many big box retail stores, it’s

etc are an example.

2. Loop Layout

browsing. The downside is that if a customer comes in knowing exactly what they
want, he or she may not want to waste their time going through a store's
experiential layout. ​
