Discrete manufacturing is the production of items that are distinct from one another. Examples of discrete manufacturing products are automobiles , furniture , smartphones , and airplanes . [ 1 ] The resulting products are easily identifiable and differ greatly from process manufacturing where the products are undifferentiated, for example oil ...
Continuous-flow manufacturing, or repetitive-flow manufacturing, is an approach to discrete manufacturing that contrasts with batch production. [1] It is associated with a just-in-time and kanban production approach, and calls for an ongoing examination and improvement efforts which ultimately requires integration of all elements of the production system.
Continuous production is a flow production method used to manufacture, produce, or process materials without interruption.Continuous production is called a continuous process or a continuous flow process because the materials, either dry bulk or fluids that are being processed are continuously in motion, undergoing chemical reactions or subject to mechanical or heat treatment.
There is a difference between discrete manufacturing and process manufacturing in terms of flow patterns. An example given is that discrete manufacturing follows an "A" type process and process manufacturing follows a “V” type process. [5] In the production cycle, a work order or process order [6] is issued to make the product in bulk ...
Statistical process control (SPC), despite its name, is much more common in discrete parts manufacturing and batch process control than in continuous process control. In SPC, “process” refers to the work and quality control process, rather than continuous process control.
Mass production, also known as flow production, series production, series manufacture, or continuous production, is the production of substantial amounts of standardized products in a constant flow, including and especially on assembly lines.
The central tenet to DFT is the primacy of customer demand in daily execution of the operation. According to Aberdeen Group, "Demand driven manufacturing involves a synchronized, closed loop between customer orders, production scheduling, and manufacturing execution; all while simultaneously coordinating the flow of materials across the supply chain."
