PROJECT
A temporary and one-time endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service, which brings about beneficial change or added value In a project, the inputs are brought to the location as they are needed; There is no flow in the process; Ex. Building Construction
LIMITATIONS
Higher cost due to frequent set up changes. Higher level of inventory at all levels and hence higher inventory cost. Production planning is complicated. Larger space requirements.
BATCH PRODUCTION
Batch production is defined by American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS) as a form of manufacturing in which the job passes through the functional de partments in lots or batches and each lot may have a dif ferent routing. It is characterized by the manufacture of limited number of products produced at regular intervals and stocked awaiting sales.
ADVANTAGES
Higher rate of production with reduced cycle time. Higher capacity utilization due to line balancing. Less skilled operators are required. Low process inventor y. Manufacturing cost per unit is low.
LIMITATIONS
Breakdown of one machine will stop an entire production line. Line layout needs major change with the changes in the product design. High investment in production facilities. The cycle time is deter mined by the slowest operation.
