The document discusses different types of production systems. It describes continuous production systems as producing the same product on a large scale using specialized automatic machines. Key elements are input, conversion process, output, storage and transportation. Continuous production systems provide standard quality output but have high maintenance costs. Intermittent systems produce different products on a smaller scale using flexible general purpose machines. They include job production for specific orders and batch production.

Production System
It is defined as the framework consisting of
various activities arranged in such a manner
that input is on one hand and output is on
other hand.
Input and output are linked by various activities
or operations.

Continuous Production System
It is a system where same kind of a product is
produced on a large scale by using special
purpose automatic machines. The product is
of standard quality. For example- electrical
goods, production of glass and production of
sugar.

Characteristic of CPS
1. Volume of Output
2. Standardization
3. Capacity
4. Automation
5. Product Layout

Merits Of CPS
(a) Work in process inventory is minimum.
(b)Uniform quality of output is produced.
(c) Delay at any stage can be automatically
detected.
(d)Control over materials ,cost and output is
simplified
(e) Work can be done by semi skilled workers

Demerits of CPS
(a) Rigidity: Any fault in one operation will disturb the whole
system.
(b) Piling of Work : Care should be taken to avoid piling up of the
work or any blockage on the line.
(c) Maintenance cost : Maintenance cost is very high .
(d) Costly Machines: Special purpose automatic machines are
used which are costly and need maintenance due to which
the investment is fairly high.

Types Of CPS
1. Mass Production- It refers to the manufacturing
of standardized parts on a large scale.
2.Process Production – It is carried on continuosly
through a uniform and standardised sequence
of operations.
Process production can be further classified as
(i) Analytical Production
(ii) Synthetic Production

Intermittent Production System
It is a system where different kinds of produc are
produced on a small scale by using general
purpose machines which are flexible in
nature.

Characteristics of IPS
1. The flow of Production is irregular.
2. Volume of output is generally small.
3. Wide Variety of products are produced.
4. General purpose machines are used which
are flexible in nature.
5. Process Layout is suitable.

Types Of IPS
Types of Intermittent Production System:
1. Job Production: In this system product are
manufactured to meet the requirements of a
specific order. It is useful in tailor shops, cycle
and vehicle repair shop and other small work
shops.
2. Batch Production: It is the manufacturing of a
number of identical product either to meet the
specific order or to satisfy demand. It is suitable
in readymade garments.
