Manufacturing Systems (KS 4)

Manufacturing production systems can be classified as

• one-off, batch, mass and continuous

• single, batch, mass and continuous

• one-off, batch, intensive and continuous

• one-off, group, mass and continuous

Products made with no interruption in the production line is an example of what type of manufacturing?

• Batch

• one-off/bespoke/Custom

• Continuous

• Just it time (JIT)

What scale of production is used in the manufacture of plain, A4 paper?

• One off

• Batch

• Mass

• Continuous

What scale of production is used in the manufacture of books?

• continuous

• Mass

• Batch

• One off

Bespoke products that are made to meet a customer’s exact needs are made as;

• as a one off

• as a batch

• by mass

• continuously

This involves manufacturing a number of identical products, usually by workers who take on more specialised roles.

• One off

• Batch

• Mass

• Continuous

Batches might be as small as a dozen or as large as several thousand

• True

• False

Workers are often less skilled as there is usually more reliance upon machinery;

• one off

• batch

• mass

• Continuous

Products move along a production line - a very efficient way of making lots of products in a short period of time.

• Mass

• Batch

• One off

• Continuous

Very high demand. Products can be 'stock-piled' as they do not change or deteriorate with age.

• Mass

• JIT

• Continuous

• Batch
