This document summarizes three common methods of production: job production, batch production, and flow production. It explains that job production involves manual production of unique products on a made-to-order basis. Batch production involves producing set quantities of goods together in batches before starting the next batch. Flow production is high-volume mass production of standardized items on a continuous basis. It also discusses the differences between batch and flow production, why businesses hold inventories, and the concept of lean production which aims to maximize value through eliminating waste.

4. JOB PRODUCTION
 Usually for a single unique product that is produced
from the start to end which usually requires manual
work.
 Job productions are labor intensive, which often require
skilled labor.
 Based on special requirements of the customer.
 Example: Designer dress

5.  Set quantity of goods produced together.
 Each batch is finished before starting the next
block of goods.
 Suitable for products that are produced for a
limited time or in a limited amount of quantity.
 Example: Baker finishing goods in batches.
BATCH PRODUCTION

6.  Identical, standardized items are produced on a large
scale, which means there is no point at which the
production would stop.
 most suitable for products that require to be
in mass.
 Example : Car manufacturing process
Flow PRODUCTION (Mass production)

production and flow production?

10. Product inventories
to take the advantage of getting a lower price by
ordering in large quantities.
Cost arises with holding
inventory
Why businesses hold inventories
(stocks)
for continuous production

11. LEAN PRODUCTION
 Eliminates waste while ensuring high quality.
 Lean manufacturing involves in creating value to customer with fewer
resources and continual improvement in the job processes.
 Focus is to maximize the value through a production of zero wastage.
