Ans: C) Products become more standardised.

Hello Team,

Making products one-at-a-time and treating their production as a project can be time consuming and cost-prohibitive. Most products can be made more quickly and more efficiently in volume. A production system that processes items in small groups or batches is called batch production. Batch production is characterized by fluctuating demand, short production runs of a wide variety of products, and small to moderate quantities of any given product made to customer order. Most of the operations in batch production involve fabrication (e.g., machining) rather than assembly. Jobs are sent through the system based on their processing requirements, so that those jobs requiring lathe work are sent to one location, those requiring painting to another, and so forth. A job may be routed through many different machine centers before it is completed. If you were to track the flow of a particular customer order through the system, you would see a lot of stopping and starting as jobs queue at different machines, waiting to be processed. Work on a particular product is not continuous; it is intermittent.

Regards,

 

Saiyid
