In fixed position layout
- Total production cost is less
- Material movement is less
- Capital investment is minimum

Process layout is a design for the floor plan of a plant which aims to improve efficiency by arranging equipment according to its function.
Process layout is also known as analytical layout.

In order to avoid excessive multiplication of facilities, the layout preferred is process layout.
In Process layout machining operation are performed in group together and not arranged according to any sequence.

Interchangeability can refer to Interchangeable parts, the ability to select components for assembly at random and fit them together within proper tolerances.
The interchangeability can be achieved by Standardization.

The production scheduling is simpler and high volume of output and high labour efficiency are achieved in the case of Product layout.
