5 process types
- project
- job shop

- continuous
A one-time event.
There is only a single output at the end of the project.
Ex: building, house, book, movies

Product Line layout
a layout that you cannot move
Fixed position layout
departments, equipment or work centers are arranged according to function
Process layout
used in businesses that use assembly lines or production lines. it is highly standardized
product line layout
concepts of time
throughput time
lead time
cycle time
takt time
time between the beginning until the product is actually completed
throughput time
