  3. Cellular manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_manufacturing

    Cellular manufacturing facilitates both production and quality control. [17] Cells that are underperforming in either volume or quality can be easily isolated and targeted for improvement. The segmentation of the production process allows problems to be easily located and it is more clear which parts are affected by the problem.

  4. Job production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_production

    Job production can be classical craft production by small firms (making railings for a specific house, building/repairing a computer for a specific customer, making flower arrangements for a specific wedding etc.), but large firms use job production, too, and the products of job production are often interchangeable, such as machined parts made ...

  5. Methods of production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_production

    Batch production is the method used to produce or process any product of the groups or batches where the products in the batch go through the whole production process together. An example would be when a bakery produces each different type of bread separately and each product (in this case, bread) is not produced continuously.

  6. Operations management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operations_management

    A first possible distinction in production systems (technological classification) is between continuous process production and discrete part production (manufacturing). Process production means that the product undergoes physical-chemical transformations and lacks assembly operations, and therefore the original raw materials cannot easily be ...

  7. Shifting bottleneck heuristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shifting_bottleneck_heuristic

    The Shifting Bottleneck Heuristic is a procedure intended to minimize the time it takes to do work, or specifically, the makespan in a job shop.The makespan is defined as the amount of time, from start to finish, to complete a set of multi-machine jobs where machine order is pre-set for each job.

  8. Batch production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batch_production

    The batch production method is also used so any temporary changes or modifications can be made to the product if necessary during the manufacturing process. [3] For example, if a product needed a sudden change in material or details changed, it can be done in between batches. As opposed to assembly production or mass production where such ...

  9. Machine shop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_shop

    In a machine shop, machinists use machine tools and cutting tools to make parts, usually of metal or plastic (but sometimes of other materials such as glass or wood). A machine shop can be a small business (such as a job shop) or a portion of a factory, whether a toolroom or a production area for manufacturing. The building construction and the ...
