Product layout organizes machines by the procedures needed to produce a specific product, allowing for low total flow time and simple production planning. Process layout arranges machines by their functions, enabling high flexibility and adaptability to changes while requiring more complex planning. The document presents an overview of product layout versus process layout, highlighting their differences in terms of variety, flexibility, and impact of machine failures.

1. Presentation on Product layout & Process Layout

2. Product Layout
Product Layout is one in which machines
are set up in order of procedures required
to produce a particular kind of product.

3. Process Layout
Process Layout is one in which
machines are set up at different
locations to produce a wider variety of
goods.

4. Product Layout Process Layout
Low total flow time of the
product from the input
stage to the output stage.
High flow time of
the production
Production planning
and control is simple,
less paperwork.
Production planning and
control is complex, much
paperwork.

5. Product Layout Process Layout
None or very little
variety possible
Very high degree of
variety in products.
Less flexibility to
change
Flexibility and
adaptability to change
is high
One machine failure
will stop the whole
line
Machine breakdown do
not cause stoppage of
production.
