Fixed position layout is also known as static product layout.

Fixed Position Layout

• For tasks on large objects such as the manufacture of an electrical generator, the construction of a building, or the repair of a large airplane, the machines implementing the operation must come to the product, rather than the product moving to the machine.
• Fixed position layout is also known as static product layout.
• In fixed-position layouts, the item being worked on remains. Stationary and workers, materials, and equipment are moved as needed.
• Fixed position layouts are used in large construction projects (buildings, power plants, and dams), shipbuilding, and the production of large aircraft and space mission rockets. The fixed position is widely used for farming, fire fighting, road building, home building, remodeling and repair, and drilling for oil.
