What is job-shop production?
Know the advantages and limitations -

Based on the customers’ needs and guidelines, manufacturers will design a few products within a limited time. One of the noticeable characteristics of this production system is the wide variety and low volume of products.

The job shop has different purpose machines organized in relevant departments. For every job, there is a need for technological details. Highly skilled operators are engaged in this job shop.

Moreover, you can find a big inventory of parts, materials, and tools. Comprehensive scheduling is important to sequence the product requirements.

Job shop production has some advantages-

  • Due to general-purpose facilities and systems, manufacturers can produce different products.
  • Operators will gain more skills and competency, as every job provides them with new learning opportunities.
  • Operators will work with high potential.

 

But, there are few limitations with job shop production.

  • The job shop production can cause an increase in cost for the frequent modification of the setup.
  • The inventory is at different levels, and thus, the inventory cost may be high.
  • You can find complicated production planning.
  • Manufacturers need a lot of space for this production.

Batch production refers to the type of manufacturing where the primary job moves through different departments in batches. Different routing is important for every batch. The factory will manufacture only a few products on a regular basis. A batch production system is good when you need shorter production, and your machinery is adjustable. It is also desirable when the machinery setup is useful for producing an item in batches. You will get several advantages with batch production.

  • Machinery and plant will have a better utilization.
  • The process promotes functional specialization.
  • The lower cost per unit is another noticeable thing.
  • No need for high investment
