Types of Production

Mass Production: Mass production is a manufacturing process that produces a large volume of standardized goods,
typically using assembly lines and automation.

Characteristics:

1.Volume Focus: High volume of standardized products. Designed for economies of scale.

2.Product Standardization: Standardized products with limited variations. Consistent quality and specifications.

3.Assembly Line Setup: Utilizes assembly lines for repetitive tasks. Specialized machinery for each step.

4.Efficiency and Cost: Emphasizes efficiency to reduce unit costs. Capital-intensive setup for high-speed production.

5.Automation: Heavy reliance on automation for repetitive tasks. Minimizes reliance on manual labor.
Process Production: Process production involves the continuous production of goods in a series of interconnected
processes. It is often used for products that require customization or have variable specifications.

Characteristics:

1.Customization and Flexibility: Variable and customized product specifications. Allows for flexibility in production.

2.Continuous Processes: Continuous and interconnected processes .No distinct assembly line setup.

3.Variable Workflows: Workflows may vary based on product requirements. Adaptable to changing production needs.

4.Skilled Labor Importance: Relies on skilled labor for complex tasks. Human expertise is crucial in the production process.

5.Quality Assurance: Quality control measures adapted to product complexity. Emphasis on meeting unique specifications.

*These two types of production represent different strategies in manufacturing, each suited to specific scenarios and
product requirements. Mass production is efficient for large-scale production of standardized items, while process
production is more adaptable and suitable for customized or complex products.
