Basic Types of Production Processes
Intermittent Production System
  Production is performed on a start-
  and-stop basis, such as for the
  manufacture of made-to-order
  products.
  Done to produce small volume and
  high diversity products.
Mass Production
  A special type of intermittent
  production process using
  standardized methods and single-use
  machines to produce long runs of
  standardized items.
  Usually used to produce small
  volume and low diversity products.
Project Process

• Different employs and
  machineries are employed to
  produce perform a specified task
  or project.
Job and Batch Process
• Specified types are services or tasks are
  performed in different departments.
• In Batch production batches are produced in
  different time by same machineries. Exp-
  tablet production in pharmaceutical
  industries.
Assembly production
It is a type of Production
system in which the
assembly of different
equipment takes place
to produce the final
product
Exp- Manufacturing of
car.
Basic Types of Production Processes (cont’d)
Continuous Production Processes
  A production process, such as
  those used by chemical plants or
  refineries, that runs for very long
  periods without the start-and-stop
  behavior associated with
  intermittent production.
  Enormous capital investments are
  required for highly automated
  facilities that use special-purpose
  equipment designed for high
  volumes of production and little or
  no variation in the type of outputs
