Jeremy Orr · Answer 1

its flexibility in equipment and labor assignments.

Explanation:

Process oriented layout is a method used by organisations to allocate resources to different work locations based on the activities being performed there and not the product being worked on.

It is of great benefit to companies that manufacture on amlarge scale, as the benefits of allocating resources nowhere they are most needed saves cost and time.

For example since labour and equipment are grouped in one place where they are needed, if there is breakdown of a machine another will be readily available to take over production.
