Types of production systems

There are two basic types of production systems: flow processes and intermittent processes. Flow processes include mass production and assembly production, which use standardized methods and machines to produce large volumes of standardized items continuously. Intermittent processes include job production, batch production, and project production, which are used to produce smaller volumes of varied products on a start-and-stop basis. Continuous production processes are also flow processes that run for long periods without stopping to produce high volumes of uniform outputs.

- 3. Basic Types of Production Processes Intermittent Production System Production is performed on a start- and-stop basis, such as for the manufacture of made-to-order products. Done to produce small volume and high diversity products. Mass Production A special type of intermittent production process using standardized methods and single-use machines to produce long runs of standardized items. Usually used to produce small volume and low diversity products.
- 4. Project Process • Different employs and machineries are employed to produce perform a specified task or project.
- 5. Job and Batch Process • Specified types are services or tasks are performed in different departments. • In Batch production batches are produced in different time by same machineries. Exp- tablet production in pharmaceutical industries.
- 6. Assembly production It is a type of Production system in which the assembly of different equipment takes place to produce the final product Exp- Manufacturing of car.
- 7. Basic Types of Production Processes (cont’d) Continuous Production Processes A production process, such as those used by chemical plants or refineries, that runs for very long periods without the start-and-stop behavior associated with intermittent production. Enormous capital investments are required for highly automated facilities that use special-purpose equipment designed for high volumes of production and little or no variation in the type of outputs
