3.1 Production processes

• Batch production involves creating identical items in groups.


  True
• Efficient production reduces costs, increases output, and ensures timely delivery.
• Advances in technology can automate and streamline production, increasing speed.
• Disruptions in the availability of raw materials can halt production.
• Redesigning the physical layout of production facilities is called facility layout optimization.
• What are production processes used for?

  Transforming raw materials into products
• What are production processes used for in a business?

  Transforming raw materials
• Flow production involves the continuous creation of identical products.


  True
• What is an example of flow production?

  Mass-producing cars
• Efficient production enhances customer satisfaction and profitability.

  True
• Why are efficient production processes crucial?

  Reduce costs and increase output
