According to volume and standardisation of the production of the products, the
production systems are classified as:
1, Job shop production,
2, Batch production,
3. Mass production, and
4, Process or continuous production.
41. Job Shop Production
Y Meaning: Job or unit production involves the manufacturing of a single complete
unit as per the customer's order. This is a ‘special order’ type of produetion. Each
Job or product is different from others and no repetition is involved. The work is
started only when the organisation has orders on hand. .

¥ Definition: Production capacity, also known as capacity or plant capacity, is
defined as the maximum rate of output that a production facility is able to produce
under a given set of assumed operating conditions.
The assumed operating conditions refer to the number of shifts per day (one, two,
or three), number of working days in a week or month, employment levels
provisions for overtime and so on.
¥ Now-a-days, automated production facilities are employed to increase the plant
capacity.
Y Formulae for production capacity:

operation (n, = 1):
PC, = n-S,-Hy-R, (LT)
PC, = Weekly production capacity of the facility (units/wk),
n= Number of work centres working in parallel

S, = Number of shifts per period (shifvk),

W Key Safety Aspects in CIM: The key safety considerations in a CIM environmes,
are given below. |
1. Worker Safety in Automated Environments |
¥ As machines and robots are integrated into the manufacturing process, the risk o
human injury due to unintended machine operation increases. |

+ Self-diagnosis systems: Machines should be capable of running self-diagnostics
to detect any malfunction, abnormal performance, or mechanical wear, ensuring
carly intervention and reducing the risk of accidents.
3. Cybersecurity and Data Integrity
¥ With the integration of digital systems, CIM environments are susceptible 0
cyberattacks that could manipulate machine operation or disrupt production.
Ensuring cybersecurity is a safety concem that protects both the operation and
personnel,
¥ Measures include:
© Network security protocols: Strong firewalls, encryption, and authentication
procedures help protect the communication between systems.
= Access control: Only authorized personnel should have access to sensitive
systems and control mechanisms.
«Regular software updates: Ensusing that the control systems and software are
