Creating lesson...
1
Different production systems require different types of manufacturing process and require different conditions for their working.
2
Selection of manufacturing process is a strategic decision as any change in the same is very costly and time -consuming affair.
3
Therefore the manufacturing process is selected at the stage of planning a business venture.
4
This must be selected keeping in view two important parameters, which are two, meeting the specification of the final product, and to be cost -effective.
5
The manufacturing process is classified into four types.
6
Number 1, Jobbing Manufacturing Process.
7
Number 2, Batch Manufacturing Process.
8
Number 3, Mass or Flow Manufacturing Process.
9
And, Number 4, Process Type Manufacturing Process.
10
Let's start by discussing about Jobbing Manufacturing Process.
11
This is used to produce one or few units of the products as per the requirement and specification of the customer.
12
Production is to meet the delivery schedule and costs are fixed prior to the contract made with the customer.
13
Batch Manufacturing Process This is used to produce limited quantities of
14
each of the different types of products in the form of batches.
15
These batches of different products are manufactured on same set of machines.
16
Different batches or products are produced separately one after the other.
17
Mass or flow manufacturing process.
18
This is used to produce a large quantity of same product at a time that is stocked for sale.
19
All machines and required equipments are arranged according to the sequence of operations, termed as line arrangement or line flow.
20
This ensures very high rate of production.
21
One line arrangement can produce only one type of product.
22
Therefore, a different line arrangement is needed for a different product.
23
And, process type manufacturing process.
24
This is used to produce the products which need a particular process, definite sequence of operations.
25
For example, petroleum.
26
In this, production run is conducted for an indefinite period.
27
So, what are the factors affecting the choice of manufacturing process?
28
Now let's discuss the factors needed to be considered before making a choice of manufacturing process.
29
Factor number 1, Effect of Volume and Variety.
30
This is one of the major considerations in selection of manufacturing process.
31
When the volume is low and variety is high,
32
intermittent process is most suitable and with increase in volume and reduction in variety continuous process become suitable.
33
The following figure indicates the choice of manufacturing process as a function of volume and variety.
34
Factor number 2, Capacity of the Plant Predicted sales volume is the key factor to make a choice between batch
35
and line process.
36
In case of line process, fixed costs are substantially higher than variable costs.
37
The reverse is true for batch process thus at low volume it would be cheaper to install
38
and maintain a batch process
39
and line process becomes economical at higher volumes factor number three
40
lead time the continuous process normally results faster deliveries as compared to batch process therefore lead time
41
and level of competition certainly influenced the choice of production process
42
and factor number four flexibility
43
and efficiency the manufacturing process needs to be flexible enough to adapt contemplated changes
44
and volume of production should be large enough to lower costs
45
hence it is very important for entrepreneur to consider all these
46
mentioned factors before taking a decision pertaining to the type of
47
manufacturing process to be adopted as far as small -scale enterprises
48
are concerned they usually adopt batch processes due to less volume of production
49
and low investment once the entrepreneur has made a final choice pertaining to the product design production system
50
and process his next critical decision is the production and planning control decision

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
