Functional Layout

  Functional layouts are by far the most common layout you will find in organizations.  These layouts can be seen in how machines and people are positioned. A functional layout is a workplace configuration in which operations/processes are organized by the type of work (function) they do. For example, a manufacturing plant that has sanders in one area, saws in another and assembly in another is a functional layout.  The machines are grouped according to the function they perform.
