Fixed-position.

Explanation:

In fixed-position layout, machines and equipment, materials and people are brought next to the product as they are needed. Fixed-position layout can be best defined as the layout in which product stays absolutely stationary and workers come to the product to build it along with all the machines, equipment and materials needed to build them. It is ideal for the product which are quite heavy and hard to move around or too fragile where moving them can cause them damage. One big advantage of using this method is its low fixed costs and it also being avoided by many manufacturers because of its high variables costs as well.
