Explanation / Answer

25. A. PRODUCT FOCUS

Product focus is the type of process strategy which basically focuses on end product and not in variety Which means if we follow this approach we'd have high inventory with low variety.

26. D. MASS CUSTOMIZATION

Mass customization is an approach where products are made suitable or fitted to the requirements of the masses which needs time and precision, as a consequence of which there's a lot of unfinished goods or work in progress inventory into the system.

28. B. DESIGN CAPACITY

Maximum output that a machine or system was designed to run in a period of time is called design layout.

29. C. ADDRESSES THE LAYOUT REQUIREMENTS OF LARGE BULKY PROJECTS SUCH AS SHIPS AND BUILDINGS.

Fixed position layout is used for those products or circumstances where the position of such products can't be changed owing to big in size, delicate in nature or complications in movement, like ships,aeroplanes etc. Hence using fixed position layout, such products are assembled on a site without making the components move much.
