Methods of production
The way a product is made will vary depending on:
- the type of product
- how specialised or customised the product is
- the level of skills required by the workers
The main methods of production are:
- Individual products are made one at a time to meet specific customer needs.
- Where one group of identical products is made at the same time, before moving onto producing the next group.
- Where identical, standardised products are produced on an assembly line.
