TEEP
Present New Information
Continuous production
•Continuous production is used to manufacture standardised mass-produced products that meets every day mass-market needs.
•Production will run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
•Continuous production is used to make products that are always needed and never change.
•This type of production is highly automated and uses machines that can run continuously for long periods of time with breaks only for maintenance
• Used for drinks bottles, cans, wine bottles, egg boxes, petrol. (Any product that you can think off that is constantly being used in the masses)
• More likely to manufacture products in their millions

8. Key words TEEP Construct the Meaning Characteristic Description
Unit cost
How much each item will cost.
Tools and equipment
What is used to make the item.
Initial investment
How much it costs to set up to make the item.
Production efficiency
How quickly and cheaply overall the product is to make.
Labour type

9. Key words Characteristic Description Examples Unit cost
How much each item will cost.
High cost item - expensive
Medium cost item
Low cost item - cheap
Tools and equipment
What is used to make the item.
General tools - can be used to make other items
Specialised tools - can only be used to make a few items
Dedicated tools - can only be used to make one item
Initial investment
How much it costs to set up to make the item.
High investment - expensive
Medium investment
Low investment - cheap
Production efficiency
How quickly and cheaply overall the product is to make.
Low efficiency - is slow and expensive
Medium efficiency
High efficiency - is quick and cheap
Labour type
How much training do the people making the item need.
Skilled - workers who have had lots of training
Semi-skilled - workers who have had some training
Unskilled - workers who have had no training
Labour costs
How much do the people making the item have to be paid.
High wages - expensive
Medium wages
Low wages - cheap

11. Continuous Production
Following similar techniques to the mass production you are going to continuously produce your keyring product.
You need to decide how many steps can be removed from your production line to still create your keyring so that it can be done:
Cheaper
Quicker
For as long as they are needed
