In which layout are all workers performing similar tasks grouped together?

AThe product layout arranged along a line
BThe fixed-position layout around the product
CThe process layout arranged around the process
DThe cellular layout inside self-contained units
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The process layout arranged around the process
1. A process layout arranges the workflow around the production process itself. 2. All workers performing similar tasks are grouped together, so all grinding happens in one area and all assembling in another. 3. Products then pass from one workstation to another, though not necessarily to every workstation. 4. In a product layout the stations sit in a fixed line instead, so the grouping principle is different. _Source: OpenStax Introduction to Business (CC BY 4.0), Ch 10 "Achieving World-Class Operations Management", section Process Layout: All Welders Stand Here_
