    There are two main categories of manufacturing: continuous industries and discrete parts manufacturing. Continuous industries involve the continuous production of a product using chemical or physical/mechanical means. Discrete manufacturing involves the production of individual items and can be further divided into job-shop, batch, or mass production based on the annual production quantity. Job-shop production has a quantity of 1-100 units/year, batch is 100-10,000 units/year, and mass production is over 10,000 units/year. There is an inverse relationship between production quantity and product variety, such that high product variety leads to lower production quantity due to changeover time losses.

    PRODUCTION AUTOMATION (Lecture 5) TYPES OF MANUFACTURING The key factor that determine the type of manufacturing is the type

    pe of products that are made Two basic categories of Manufacturing

    1. Continuous Industries 2. Discrete Parts Manufacturing CONTINUOUS Involves the continuous production of a product, often using chemical as well as Physical or Mechanical means (Production of Fertilizer or Sugar)

    DISCRETE Involves the production of individual items and is further divided into Mass, Batch and Job-Shop Production

    JOB-SHOP (Low Production) Quantities in the range of (1 100) Units per year

    BATCH (Medium Production) Quantities ranges between (100 10,000) Units per year

    MASS (High Production) Quantities range is 10,000 and above

    PRODUCTION AUTOMATION (Lecture 5) PRODUCTION QUANTITY AND PRODUCT VARIETY Production Quantity Refers to the number of units of a given part or product produced annually by a plant Production Quantity can be classified in 3 ranges (Mass, Batch or Job-Shop)

    Product Variety Refers to the different product types or designs that are produced in a plant i.e. Products with different shapes, sizes and styles etc

    High Product Variety When the number of product types made in a Factory is High

    Low Product Variety When the number of product types made in a Factory is Low

    RELATION BETWEEN PRODUCT VARIETY AND PRODUCTION QUANTITY Inverse relation exist between the two When product variety is high, production quantity tends to be low (Change over time losses)

    Mass Production Quantity Batch Job-Shop Product Variety Classification of Discrete Production

    PRODUCTION AUTOMATION (Lecture 5) NOTE: The differences in the designs or shapes of the products may be small or great For example, Differences in Air Conditioner and Automobile is much more greater then between an Air Conditioner and a Heat Pump The extent of these differences in the shapes and sizes refers to the terms HARD and SOFT Product Variety

    Hard Product Variety If the products differs substantially If the proportion of common parts are very low OR there may be no common parts Difference between a CAR and TRUCK ( HARD)

    Soft Product Variety Small differences between the Products Proportion of common parts is high Example (Differences between CAR MODELS)
