    The document discusses different methods of production: 1. Intermittent or interrupted production including job production and batch production. Job production involves producing one unique item at a time, like bridge building. Batch production involves producing similar but not identical products in batches, like at bakeries. 2. Mass and flow line production which continuously produces large volumes of identical goods on a production line, like cars and microchips. Mass production allows for mechanization, division of labor, and large scale economies but requires special care and can result in idle machinery waste.

    PRODUCTION METHODS

    METHODS OF PRODUCTION

    The methods of production can be of the


    following types:

    1. Intermittent or interrupted
    production
    a. Job Production
    b. Batch Production

    2. Mass and flow line production


    JOB PRODUCTION

    In this type of production, every job


    is different from the other in terms of
    type, cost, efforts, consumption of
    materials or specifications.
    This is used when one item at a time is
    produced. Examples include:

    Bridge building

    Office blocks
     ADVANTAGES

     Reaching the target customer’s


    requirements
     Special training to labor
     Best suitable for pull system of demand

     DISADVANTAGES
    X Time taking
    X Large scale economies cannot be realized
    X Costliest
    X Division of labor is not possible
    BATCH PRODUCTION

    All the products manufactured under


    a batch are similar in terms of type, cost,
    efforts, consumption of materials or
    specifications.
    This is when the same product is made for a
    while, then production is switched to another
    product. They will return to the production
    of the first product again later on.

    Examples include:

    Bakers

    Clothing manufacturers

    Coca Cola bottling plants


     ADVANTAGES
     cost of product design per unit is low
     Economies of production
     Flow of materials can be continuous
     Automation and mechanization

     DISADVANTAGES
    X Varying customer demands
    X Not appropriate for pull system
    MASS PRODUCTION

    This is also called flow production.


    The production can be undertaken on large
    and specialized machines and processes.
    This is when goods are mass made continuously
    on a production line.

    Examples include:

    Cars

    Glass

    Microchips
     ADVANTAGES
     Mechanization and division of labour
     Large – scale economies
     Minimum material handling costs

     DISADVANTAGES
    X Special care
    X Idle machinery may result in wastage of
    resources
    X Bottle necks
