JOBBATCH MASS CELL TRADITIONAL 4 WAYS TO GO ABOUT THE PROCESS OF PRODUCTION ARE …..

JOB Millenium stadium / Cardiff, Wales Royal Portrait, London, England Wedding Dress Milan, Italy Millau Bridge France JOB

Creating an INDIVIDUAL product from START TO FINISH to meet the SPECIFIC NEEDS of the CUSTOMER. An example would be the ‘El Chaparral Dam’ proposed for the San Miguel Dept. There is no other dam exactly like it, and is suited to fit the needs of the community. The work tends to require higher skills and have a longer lead time

MASS

Creating LARGE QUANTITIES of STANDARDISED products Often involves SPECIALISATION as workers get highly efficient in simple repetitive tasks An example could be newspapers. Each paper is exactly the same, with one worker responsible for checking the ink, another for loading the paper etc

LOOK! The sprockets & Guards are different colour batch First one batch then the other BATCH

Creating a LIMITED NUMBER of IDENTICAL PRODUCTS. Work on each batch would FINISH, BEFORE production switches to another batch – which makes it suitable for businesses that produce a RANGE of products An example would be coca/cola who might produce a batch of coca cola then stop. Make the necessary changes and switch to CocaCola Zero

This is the FINAL product they sent out to the customer This is the worker who packages it nicely This is the worker who puts it all together

CELL Where workers are divided into TEAMS/CELLS – and each team is responsible for COMPLETING THEIR PART of the overall production process. Provides Job Enrichment, and Team work. It is an UPDATE of the ASSEMBLY LINE process, whereby each cell member should be MULTISKILLED and capable of performing all the tasks in their cell group. Each cell is independent in terms of reaching their own target, but interdependent in terms of completing the final product
