1. Discontinuous
•i) Job Order Production
•ii) Batch Production
2. Continuous
•iii)Mass Production
•Iv) Flow Production

8. I. Job Order Production
• Specific Customers requirements, not standard
• Very Small quantity higher variety diversity
• Skilled worker required,
• one or very few quantity
• Planning is very complex
Ex: special projects, Rockets, Aircrafts,
Power plants

9. ii) Batch Production
• Specific applications,
• standard with in few products
• Skilled worker required, small quantity
• Planning is required
• Process Layout
Ex: Turbines, Heavy Pumps, Shoes and Clothes

10. iii)Mass Production
• Regular usage and applications
• Very large quantity same components
• Unskilled worker required,
• Huge demand, higher requirements
• Planning is less
• Product Layout
Ex: Automobiles, Household Appliances

11. Iv) Flow Production
• Continuous usage and applications
• Huge quantity on day today basis
• Semi skilled workers required,
• Very Huge demand higher requirements
• Planning routine
• Product Layout
Ex: Steel plant, Petroliam Production etc

16. Few imp terms
• Contribution : Role for the profit made on individual products.

levels based on different parties that include firms, users,
interest groups, standards organizations and governments.
It can help to maximize compatibility, interoperability, safety
• Specialization : strategy to develop by a process or business to focus
on the production of a very limited range of products or services
for maximum productivity.
• Diversification : corporate strategy to enter into a new market or industry
in which the business doesn't currently operate, while also creating a
new product for that new market.

17. Break Even Analysis
• Quantity or level of sales volume, sales value or production at which
the business makes neither a profit nor a loss
• Fixed Cost = F
• Variable cost = Q x v
• Total Cost = F+Qv
• Total revenue / Sales income
= Q x s
