Organization in lines

For example, producing spare parts of a particular vehicle comes under mass production.
Another example can be Coca-Cola, which is a bottling company that works on mass production under a continuous production system. The products are highly automated and standardized and production is in high volumes. Coca-Cola’s production process includes transferring sub-parts or sub-assemblies from production’s one stage to another stage through a continuous flow or process. Products are added at each stage of mass production. This mass production method being used by Coca-Cola is due to the wide variation of products of the company that are being distributed in bulk orders. The company has a different range of products in its distribution range such as Diet Coke, Coke, Flavored soft drinks, Bottled water, etc. So, the production of such a huge range of products can be best achieved through mass production and a continuous production system.

1.2 Process Production System

Continuous production is there in this production system due to uniformity and standardization in the sequence of operations. Also, machines that are being used in the manufacturing process are automated and highly sophisticated. Process production is used while processing certain materials in bulk quantity.
For example, different industries that are based on process production include Milk diaries, Fertilizer plants, and Petrochemical plants as these industries work on highly automated systems.
Usually, the process of this system includes taking output (finished goods or services) of one process as an input (raw material) of the next process till the end of the manufacturing or production process. Also, in most industries, a single main raw material is used in the transformation process to produce various products at different levels of production or operation.
For example, Crude oil is transformed into different finished products such as gasoline, kerosene, and other related products.
2. Intermittent Production System

In this production system, there are irregular intervals or breaks in the manufacturing of products as products or services are produced as per the orders of customers. So, rather than mass production, it includes the production based on specific requirements or orders, and thus, the production flow is irregular. Products that are produced under this system are generally of different sizes or verities. So, this system depends upon the orders received from customers.
For example, A Bakery shop produces cookies every day for customers who demand it. To produce another product i.e. Muffins as per the demand of customers, the same production line is being used after reconfiguring machines.
Similarly, Tailor also stitches clothes based on the customer requirement and the total number of orders given by customers. Stitching, Designing are customer-specific based on individual measurements. The clothes are made to meet the number of orders given by each customer, so the production is not mass production.
