●
Much time is spent waiting for access to equipment. Some
equipment overloaded.
.
Job shop Production
●
A process technology suitable for variety of products in varying
volumes.
●
Here limited product variety which is fixed for one batch of
product. Ex. Bakery shop, medicine shop.
●
Within the wide range of products in the facility, several are
demanded repeatedly and in large volume.
●
This type of production system should be preferred when
there is wide variety of products in wide variety of volumes.
Mass Production (Assembly Line)
●
A process technology suitable for a narrow range of standardized
products in high volumes.
●
The successive units of output undergo the same sequence of
operation using specialized equipment usually positioned along a
production line.
●
The product variety is fixed here. Ex. Assembly of television
sets, assembly of auto, assembly of computer keyboard, cold
drinks factory etc.
Continuous Production
●
A process technology suitable for producing a continuous flow
of products.
●
The product is highly standardized.
●
Material and products are produced in continuous, endless
flows, rather than in batches or discrete units.
●
Continuous flow technology affords high volume, around-the
clock operation with capital intensive, specialized automation.
