Question

Which of the following is not a layout configuration used in FMS?

• A. In-line
• B. Loop
• C. Ladder
• D. Circle

Hint:

In FMS, layout configuration plays a critical role in ensuring efficient production. Choose the appropriate layout based on the product flow and material handling requirements.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) are designed to improve the efficiency and flexibility of production systems. The most common layout configurations in FMS include in-line, loop, and ladder configurations. Each of these layouts is used to optimize the flow of materials and minimize downtime. The "Circle" layout is not typically used in FMS as it does not provide the same level of efficiency in material handling and production flow. Instead, in-line, loop, and ladder configurations are more suitable for the continuous flow of materials in FMS.
