This is an exciting opportunity because you recall multiple conversations with your peers about how so much time is wasted on day-to-day processes.

(2) What are the various facility layouts used today in manufacturing and service operations? What are some of the characteristics of a good layout?

(3) Define the type of layout used in your organization. Do you think a different layout will be more efficient in your organization? Explain your answer.
