A Production System implies the set-up consisting of assets such as
facilities, machines and equipment that transform resources into
valuable output using processes and technology.
we can understand it as a system that converts factor inputs into
outputs which is capable of satisfying the market demand.

3. Production system is a combination of three
significant components :
1.Input (Capital, Machines, Equipment & Tools, Labour)
2.Conversion Process
3.Output (Goods and Services)

5. Characteristics of Production System
1. Production is an organized activity, so every production system has
an objective.
2. The system transforms the various inputs to useful outputs.
3. It does not operate in isolation from the other organization system.
4. There exists a feedback about the activities, which is essential to
control and improve system performance.

7. Intermittent Production System :
Project Production
Project production is characterized by complex sets of activities that must be
performed in a particular order within the given period and within the estimated
expenditure.
Example-
Airport, Dams, Buildings, Bridge

8. Intermittent Production System :
Jobbing Production
Job production is a manufacturing process which involves
workers making a single unique customized product for a single
customer. Depending upon the customer needs, job production
method is used to create a product from start to finish. This
method of production is not used for producing goods in mass
quantity.

9. Intermittent Production System :
Batch Production
• Batch production is a method whereby a group of identical products are
produced simultaneously (rather than one at a time). It is up to the
manufacturer to decide how big the batch will be, and how often these
batches will be made.
• Each batch can be different, as manufacturers can decide to change the
specifications from one group of products to the next. Perhaps it is
necessary to change the colour or size of that particular group.

Clothing , Fast food ,Computer chips ,Print media:( magazines,
newspapers, books) , software , Pharmaceuticals

Mass Production
Mass production means there is continuous production and all employees work
continuously to produce the same items at the same time. In this kind of
production, the forms and size of the products remain the same and every
employee focuses on the same product.
Example-
If one company is producing only white bread on a huge level, all employees will
focus on the white bread packets only. In this process, most employees will be
working towards white bread making: preparing the dough, baking, etc.

11. Continuous Production System :

gas . It make possible a continuous flow of production , using
expensive machinery , highly automated methods and a mass
marketing technique.
Example-
Oil Refining
