Methods of PRODUCTION

There are 3 different kind of methods of production.

• JOB 
• BATCH 
• FLOW

Job

"A type of business model that performs or creates single and customized projects for a specific client. Job production is typically performed by skilled experts to a high standard and usually allows for considerable flexibility and customization in the finished product."

 So, basically the job production is when a single worker or a group of worker creates or design one product without using any help. They work on THEIR SELVES!

For an example is a fashion designer designing a dress for a female actress. He/She only designs it for that specific actress and works on his own, without anyone helping him. That situation is considered as a JOB PRODUCTION.

Batch

"A type of business model that performs or creates single and customized projects for a specific client. Job production is typically performed by skilled experts to a high standard and usually allows for considerable flexibility and customization in the finished product."

Batch is when a group of people doing different things to design or create a certain product. For an example is when we produce bread. We use the same type of machinery to create the bread, except that there will be an extra step for instance, adding flavor or decorations on the bread. Get it? Or is just too confusing? Haha, do not worry, let me show it in a picture. 

 So, the product is being passed on to the other group that is doing other things in order to be produced. Easy? :)

Flow

Flow is basically the same process as the Batch production. Except that everyone does it at the same time. So as the workers are continuing the flow, a huge number of products will be produced. A great example is the school library. The students are divided into 4 groups. The first group will be cutting the slips, while the second group is pasting the return slips at the back of the book. The third slip will prepare the books that are pasted with the return slips properly, the books will then be taken to the other group that stamps the book. So, it will be going non-stop. And the number of books that are being stamped is increasing. :)
