Intermittent production
—A form of manufacturing organization in which the productive resources are organized according to function. The jobs pass through the functional departments in lots, and each lot may have a different routing. This is synonymous to a " Job shop".
·
Continuous production
—A production system in which the productive equipment is organized and sequenced according to the steps involved to produce the product. Denotes that material flow is continuous during the production process. The routing of the jobs is fixed, and setups are seldom changed. This is synonymous to "mass production".
·
Flow shop
—A form of manufacturing organization in which machines and operators handle a standard, usually uninterrupted, material flow. The operators generally perform the same operations for each production run. A flow shop, or is often referred to as a mass production shop, or is said to have a continuous manufacturing layout. The plant layout (arrangement of machines, benches, assembly lines, etc.) is designed to facilitate a product "flow." Some process industries (chemicals, oil, paint, etc.) are extreme examples of flow shops. Each product, though variable in material specifications, uses the same flow pattern through the shop. Production is set at a given rate, and the products are generally manufactured in bulk.
·
Process manufacturing
—Production that adds value by mixing, separating, forming, and/or chemical reactions. It may be done in either batch or continuous mode.
·
Repetitive manufacturing
—A form of manufacturing where various items with similar routings are made across the same process whenever production occurs. Products may be made in separate batches or continuously. Production in a repetitive environment is not a function of speed or volume.
