Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A hospital is an example of a process layout because different departments (e.g. emergency, surgery, radiology) are arranged based on the flow of patients and materials through the system, rather than being grouped together by product or service type like in a product layout (e.g. automobile assembly line) or a fixed position layout (e.g. construction site). A fast-food restaurant and a cafeteria are both examples of product layouts, where the focus is on producing a specific set of products (e.g. burgers, sandwiches, salads) with a standardized process and equipment layout.
