Give an example of each of the manufacturing processes: Continuous Flow, Production Line, Batch, Job Shop and Fixed Position Layout. Explain why each is appropriate for the example.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Continuous Flow: Oil refining.  Chemicals.  Synthetic fibers.  Fertilizers.Pulp and paper. Blast furnace (iron) .Metal smelting. Power stations.

Batch Production :  Baked goods.  Clothing. Computer chips. Computer software.  Die- or mold-making. Electrical goods. Flat-pack furniture. Jet engine production.

Job shop  tool shop, a factory machining center, paint shops, a French restaurant, a commercial printing shop, and other manufacturers .

Fixed-position layout  construction (e.g., buildings, dams, and electric or nuclear power plants), shipbuilding, aircraft, aerospace, farming, drilling for oil, home repair, and automated car washes

Product Line  operations along the production line could include assembly, painting, drying, testing,

Explanation:

Continuous production is a flow production method used to manufacture, produce, or process materials without interruption.

Batch manufacturing is a style of manufacturing which compiles the different components of a product through step by step processes.  

A job shop is a type of manufacturing process structure where small batches of a variety of custom products are made.

In a fixed position layout, personnel, supplies, and equipment are brought to the site where the product will be assembled, rather than the product being moved through an assembly line or set of assembly stations

Product line. The item may move along some kind of conveyor, or be moved manually by staff or forklift.
