5. Batch Production In batch production products are produced in small or large batches.

6. Flow Production (Mass Production) Flow Production is a production line method, where product is continuously produced, flowing from one stage of production to the next

7. Advantages of Job Production 1. Meets customer´s exact needs 2. Products are of a high quality 3. Workers are motivated 4. Job organisation is easy 1. Meets customer´s exact needs 2. Products are of a high quality 3. Workers are motivated 4. Job organisation is easy

8. Disadvantages of Job Production 1-Expensive 2-Requires a lot of tools, machinery and equipment 3-Lengthy lead times 4-High selling costs 1-Expensive 2-Requires a lot of tools, machinery and equipment 3-Lengthy lead times 4-High selling costs

11. Advantages of Flow Production -Economies of Scale -Machinery can replace labour -Responds quickly to changes in demand so less need to stockpile -Economies of Scale -Machinery can replace labour -Responds quickly to changes in demand so less need to stockpile
