The relationship between how different layout structures are best suited depending on volume and product variety characteristics is depicted on this type of graph.

The manufacturing cell is expected for products with medium volume, which is much normalized. The sequential construction system is utilized for a somewhat high item volume and a very elevated degree of item. The constant cycle layout is utilized when a high item volume of ware is created.

The horizontal axismaps the volume of the item, and the vertical axis plots the item normalization. In a perfect world, layout systems are from the project, work focus, manufacturing cell, sequential construction system, and persistent interaction. An undertaking layout is prudent when the stand-out item is expected with low volume.

A work community is required when a moderately low volume of products is expected, with not so normalized products.
