PRODUCTION

• Production is the process by which businesses provide goods and services

which are required by consumer in their particular market.
METHODS OF PRODUCTION

• Several methods are used at different stages of the overall production

process.
1. Job production
2. Batch production
3. Continuous flow production
JOB PRODUCTION METHOD

• Job production is when we make a one-off product for specific customer –

anything from dam to a musical instrument.
• Complete task is handled to single worker or group of workers.
• Each product is unique
• Low volume production
• Job can be small-scale/low technology as well as complex/high technology.
EXAMPLES

• Example of low technology jobs includes:

This method enables customer’s specific requirements to be
included, often as the job progresses.
• Hairdressers
• Tailoring
• Musical instruments
• Example of high technology jobs includes:
1. Film production
2. Large construction projects.
BATCH PRODUCTION METHOD

• In this method the work for any task is divided into parts or operations.
• Using the same equipment to make batches of different product.
• Similar products are produced in different batches. These products are not
necessarily produced for a particular customer.
HOW DOES IT WORK?

• Using the watch example, a batch of 100 red watches produce first, then
yellow and green etc. After that, these product will go through the same
packaging process. Though they are all of the same basic product, they are
produce in different batches according to their colours.
CONTINUOUS FLOW METHOD

• This work in the same way as mass production but always produces the same
product 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
• The material either dry bulk or fluids that are being produced are
continuously in motion.
• Production occurs at a single location without interruption.
EXAMPLE

• Cookies baked in a long linear oven, cooled on a conveyer belt, and finally
boxed and shipped out the back without pause or interruption
