This document discusses three main types of manufacturing: batch production, mass production, and continuous flow production. Batch production involves making a set number of identical products in small batches. Mass production makes hundreds of identical products on an assembly line. Continuous flow production manufactures many thousands of identical products on a 24/7 production line with high automation and few workers to maximize output.

2. TYPES OF MANUTACTURING
BATCH PRODUCTION
-in this production when a small quantity of
identical product are made.
-batch production may also be labour intensive,but
jigs and templates are used to aid production.
-batches of the product can be made as often as
required
-the machines can be easily changed to produce a
batch of a different product.
3. -batch production involves making of a set number
of identical products.
-example typically batch production is used in a
bakery,where a certain number of different types of
loaves will be made every morning.
4. MASS PRODUCTION
-mass production is when hundreds of identical
product are made,usually on a production line.
-mass production often involves the assembly of a
number of sub-assemblies of individual
components.
-parts may be bought from other companies.
-there is usually some automation of task(eg by
using computer numerical control)
5. Example of mass production
Rotational molding as know as Rotation is a
plastic procces using for manufacturing simple
or complex design with small or big sizes,
hallow products with control by computer and
using K-Paq rotation heat control system. It
quaranties ideal plastic making while in
process with more quality and strong
products.
7. CONTINUOUS FLOW PRODUCTION
-continuous flow production is when many
thousands of identical product are made.
-the difference between this production and mass
production is the this production line is kept
running 24 hours a day,seven days a week to
maximise production and eliminate the extra cost
of starting and stopping the production process.
-the process is highly automated and few workers
are required.
8. Example of continuous flow
production
Texas Operations uses CFP.
-It calls for an ongoing examination and improvement efforts which ultimately
requires integration of all elements of the production system.
-The goal is an optimally balanced production line with little waste, the lowest
possible cost and on-time, defect-free production.
-The economics of Continuous Flow Manufacturing allows for the flow of
"components" to the worker and assembly unit (finished good.)
-The exact tools and parts are always at hand, having been moved down the
assembly line consecutively.
-The worker spends little or no time retreiving and/or preparing materials and
tools so the time take to manufacture a product is shorter than when using
traditional methods.
