1. Process Layout
2. Product Layout
3. Fixed Position Layout
4. Cellular Manufacturing Layout
5. Hybrid Layout

4. Process Layout:
In this type of layout, same type of
machines having similar functions are
kept at one place and raw material
travels from one place to another eg.
Toy manufacturing etc.

5. Product Layout:
In this type of layout, machines are
arranged in a straight line s per the
sequence of manufacturing and raw
material is automatically transferred
from one machine to another eg.
Automobile etc.

6. Fixed Position Layout :
In this type of layout, the raw material
being bulky is kept at one place and
men and machines travels to the place
of raw material eg. Aircrafts etc.

7. Cellular Manufacturing Layout:
In this type of layout, the machinery is
organized in to cells and they function
similar to a product layout.

8. Hybrid Layout:
In real world, it is impossible to
manufacture in a pure layout so in
reality the plants are a combination of
available types of layout.
