Production Overview

What are the different types of production processes?

• single production, group production, extensive production

• job production, batch production, mass production, continuous production

Discuss the factors that can affect production decisions.

• Weather conditions, employee morale, advertising strategies

• Market demand, resource availability, production costs, technological advancements, government regulations, competition, consumer preferences

• Raw material availability, transportation costs, political stability

• Social media trends, currency exchange rates, employee turnover

Explain the role of technology in production.

• Technology automates processes, increases efficiency, improves quality, reduces costs, and enables mass production.

• Technology hinders production by causing delays and errors

• Technology is only used for entertainment purposes in production

• Technology has no impact on production processes

How is quality control implemented in production processes?

• Quality control in production processes is implemented by setting up specific standards and criteria for the desired quality of the final product. This involves regular inspections, testing, and monitoring of the production process to ensure that the product meets these standards. Any deviations or defects are identified and corrected to maintain consistent quality.

• Quality control is solely the responsibility of the production team

• Quality control is not necessary in production processes

• Quality control is implemented by randomly selecting products for inspection

How does globalization impact production?

• Globalization impacts production by increasing competition, allowing for access to new markets and resources, promoting efficiency through specialization, and sometimes leading to outsourcing of labor to lower-cost regions.

• Globalization results in all production being centralized in one country

• Globalization leads to decreased competition in production

• Globalization has no impact on production

What is job production and how does it differ from batch production?

• Job production involves producing products in large quantities, while batch production focuses on individualized products.

• Job production focuses on individualized products made one at a time, while batch production involves producing a group of similar products together.

• Job production and batch production are the same thing.

• Job production is a faster process compared to batch production.

What are the advantages of using automation in production?

• Unchanged efficiency, lower productivity, decreased quality control, increased labor costs, compromised safety

• Limited efficiency, stagnant productivity, inconsistent quality control, increased labor costs, compromised safety

• Increased efficiency, higher productivity, improved quality control, reduced labor costs, enhanced safety

• Decreased efficiency, lower productivity, worsened quality control, increased labor costs, reduced safety

Discuss the concept of just-in-time production.

• Just-in-time production is a strategy to maximize inventory costs by storing excess goods.

• Just-in-time production involves receiving goods long before they are needed, leading to increased waste.

• Just-in-time production focuses on producing goods in large batches to reduce efficiency.

• Just-in-time production is a strategy to reduce waste by receiving goods only as needed, minimizing inventory costs.
