Project Management steps
1. Planning 2. Scheduling 3. Controlling
Projects
General purpose equipment is used to complete projects, often requires a high degree of flexibility & usually entails some form of sub-contracting
Continuous Flow
Is a flow production method used to manufacture, produce, or process materials without interruption.
Mass Customization
Is a marketing and manufacturing technique that combines the flexibility and personalization of "custom-made" with the low unit costs associated with mass production.
Mass Production
The production of large amounts of standardized products, including and especially on assembly lines.
Batch Processing
This would be the process of doing one thing repetitively.
Job Shops
Typically small manufacturing systems that handle job production, that is, custom/bespoke or semi-custom/bespoke manufacturing processes such as small to medium-size customer orders
