Methods Of Production

1. Job Production

   • Job production is when a business produces one product from start to finish before starting another

2. Batch Production

   • Job production is good when demand is relatively low however when it increases it starts to struggle, a business may then switch to batch production. This is when a business will make 1 product a certain number of 1 product then change to a different product. When using batch production production can be split up into steps

3. Flow Production

   • Flow production can be used when a large amount of output can be sold into a mass market. This can result in a lower average cost due to economies of scale. Production is organised so it can be step by step on a production line.

     • Large Output
     • Standardised Preduction
     • Semi-Skilled Workforce
