Distinctive feature of job production as compared to mass and batch production system?
3) What is the distinctive feature of job production as compared to mass and batch production system? Production Planning is a managerial function which is mainly concerned with the following important issues: · What production facilities are required? · How these production facilities should be laid out in the space available for production? and · How they should be used to produce the desired products at the desired rate of production? Broadly speaking, production planning is concerned with two main aspects: (i) routing or planning work tasks (ii) layout or spatial relationship between the resources. Production planning is dynamic in nature and always remains in fluid state as plans may have to be changed according to the changes in circumstances. Job Production In this system products are made to satisfy a specific order. However that order may be produced- -only once -at irregular time intervals as and when new order arrives -at regular time intervals to satisfy a continuous demand The following are the important Features of job shop type production system: · Machines and methods employed should be general purpose as product changes are quite frequent. · Planning and control system should be flexible enough to deal with the frequent changes in product requirements. · Man power should be skilled enough to deal with changing work conditions. · Schedules are actually non existent in this system as no definite data is available on the product. · In process inventory will usually be high as accurate plans and schedules do not exist. · Product cost is normally high because of high material and labor costs. · Grouping of machines is done on functional basis (i.e. as lathe section, milling section etc.) · This system is very flexible as management has to manufacture varying product types. · Material handling systems are also flexible to meet changing product requirements. Batch Production Batch production is the manufacture of a number of identical articles either to meet a specific order or to meet a continuous demand. Batch can be manufactured either- -only once -or repeatedly at irregular time intervals as and when demand arise -or repeatedly at regular time intervals to satisfy a continuous demand The following are the important Features of batch type production system: · As final product is somewhat standard and manufactured in batches, economy of scale can be availed to some extent. · Machines are grouped on functional basis similar to the job shop manufacturing. · Semi automatic, special purpose automatic machines are generally used to take advantage of the similarity among the products. · Labor should be skilled enough to work upon different product batches. · In process inventory is usually high owing to the type of layout and material handling policies adopted. · Semi automatic material handling systems are most appropriate in conjunction with the semi automatic machines. · Normally production planning and control is difficult due to the odd size and non repetitive nature of order.
What are Jamaican manufactured products?

Mechanization is performing work with machinery, for example in factory work. Early factory machines were primitive, requiring workers to use a system of pulleys to complete tasks. After electrification, the process was no longer hand powered and came to be associated with motorized machines and eventually robotics.

Qualitative factors in decision making?
considerations in decision making, in addition to the quantitative or financial factors highlighted by incremental analysis . They are the factors relevant to a decision that are difficult to measure in terms of money. Qualitative factors may include: (1) effect on employee morale, schedules and other internal elements; (2) relationships with and commitments to suppliers; (3) effect on present and future customers; and (4) long-term future effect on profitability. In some decision-making situations, qualitative aspects are more important than immediate financial benefit from a decision.
