  • More use of machinery is made.
  • Unexpected orders can be handled.

Disadvantages

  • More complex machinery may be needed.
  • Careful planning and co-ordination is needed.
  • Less motivation because workers specialise.
  • If batches are small, costs will still be high.
  • Money may be tied up in work-in-progress.
