QUESTION

Which of the following is most likely to be handled by product layout?

A) moving people through airport security
B) the building of a bridge
C) treating patients in an emergency room
D) the bottling and labeling of soft drinks
E) the building of a hotel

ANSWER

Answer: D
Explanation: D) The bottling and labeling of soft drinks is likely done on a moving conveyor with machines doing all or most of the work. This is an example of product layout: the assembly line arrangement, in which equipment and tasks are arranged into an assembly line—a sequence of steps for producing a single product.
