Which of the following is NOT one of the factors complicating the techniques for addressing the fixed-position layout?
A) The volume of materials needed is dynamic.
B) At different stages of a project, different materials are needed; therefore, different items become critical as the project develops.
C) Takt times at workstations are dynamic.
D) There is limited space at virtually all sites.
E) All of these are complicating factors.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Takt times at workstations are not a complicating factor for fixed-position layout. The fixed-position layout is used for projects such as building construction or shipbuilding, where the work is done at one location and the materials and equipment are brought to that location. Therefore, takt times, which are used in assembly line production, are not applicable in fixed-position layout.
