- Job processing
- Processing types
- Batch Processing
- method of manufacturing where the products are made as specified groups or amounts, within a time frame.
- Advantages
- -Capital intensive -Variety of goods can be produced by one machinery
- Disadvantages
- -Workers jobs can feel repetitive -Storage costs can become high
- Advantages
- method of manufacturing where the products are made as specified groups or amounts, within a time frame.
- Flow processing
- a continues movement of items through the production process.
- Advantages
- -Capital intensive -Economies of scale can be achieved as cost per unit will be low
- Disadvantages
- -High initial set-up costs of automated assembly lines -Standardised product produced
- Advantages
- a continues movement of items through the production process.
- Mass processing
- Advantages
- -A higher level of efficiency can be achieved -A higher level of precision
- Disadvantages
- -It requires a big investment in capital and technology -Employees can become demotivated due to their work being repetitive
- Advantages
- Cellular processing
- Involves the use of multiple stations in an assembly line fashion. Each of these stations is composed of one or multiple different machines which accomplish a certain task
- Disadvantges
- - may not allow firms to use their machinery as intensively as in ‘flow’ production, and output will be lower than mass production as a result. -greater investment is required in new management and control processes, such as stock ordering
- Advantages
- -Reduction in set up time -Reduction in work progress
- Disadvantges
- Involves the use of multiple stations in an assembly line fashion. Each of these stations is composed of one or multiple different machines which accomplish a certain task
- Batch Processing
- Individual 'one-off' or unique items made to customer specifications.
- Advantages
- -Emergency machinery is easy to access -Higher quality and authenticity
- Disadvantages
- -Cost of production are high -time inefficient
- Advantages
- Processing types
