Reasons for batch production over mass production

Back

1. Flexibility: Different parts can be made using the same machinery. 2. Material supply limitations: Avoids significant stock buildup when demand is uncertain.

Health and safety considerations for replacing a conveyor belt system

Back

1. Safe isolation procedures: Prevents electric shocks from the motor power system. 2. Lockout/Tagout (LOTO): Ensures the conveyor is not operated during maintenance.
