Which products are typically produced using a fixed-position layout?

1. A fixed-position layout is chosen when the product is impossible to move during production. 2. Ships, airplanes, and construction projects all fall into that category. 3. Limited space at the site often means parts must be assembled elsewhere, transported in, and then joined to the main product. 4. Canned goods and appliances move easily along a line, so they use a product layout instead. _Source: OpenStax Introduction to Business (CC BY 4.0), Ch 10 "Achieving World-Class Operations Management", section Fixed-Position Layout: Staying Put_
