Answer 1

Answer: c. fixed-position layout.

Explanation:

This is a system that addresses the layout requirements of stationary projects.

Here, project remains in one place and workers and equipment come to that one work area.

Examples are plane, ship, highway, a bridge, a house, and an operating table in a hospital, etc.

Answer 2

Answer:

C) fixed-position layout

Explanation:

Airplanes are huge and airplane factories are the largest factories in the world. When the product being manufactured is so large and generally heavy, factories use a fixed position layout. That means that the product is assembled in one place and workers, equipment and components are taken to that place. Another examples would be a ship, bridge or a building.
