6.3 Read about the relationship between WIP (work-inprogress) and different types of production process. As you read, im agine an exam ple for each one.

1. In a continuous process there is a network of complex, capital-intensive machinery through which WIP flows

without interruption. One example would be steel making 2. In a mass process, there is an assembly line where WIP moves along the line past workstations carrying out fixed operations. One example would be an automobile plant 3. In a batch process, machinery and equipment are located in 'cells' around the plant, and WIP moves in groups to different cells; in each cell a variety of specialized operations can be carried out. One example would be clothing manufacture 4. In job production, there is a fixed position layout where the WIP does not move; instead operations are scheduled in sequence on it. One example would be aircraft manufacture

5. In a large-scale project, the WIP is often off-site, or at the customer's own premises. One example would

be construction of a building

Now complete each paragraph with the most appropriate example: construction o f a building, an autom obile plant, aircraft manufacture, clothing manufacture, steel making.
