Project Shop

In the typical project manufacturing system, a product must remain in a fixed position or location during manufacturing because of its size and/or weight. Therefore, it is necessary to bring the materials, machines, and people used in its fabrication to the site. Examples are in locomotive manufacturing, large aircraft assembly, and ship building. They all use a fixed-position layout.
