Job / Batch / Flow Production
Job production - this is a method of production where companies use all their factors of production to complete one job at a time. This will usually happen where products are all unique or they are being produced on a very small scale.
Batch production - this is a method of production where one operation is completed on a number of units of the product, before they are then passed on to the next stage of the process.
Flow production - this is where production takes place as a continuous process. The product flows from one process onto the next. This will usually happen where the product is standardised, and can be made using a production line method.
