Businesses aim for efficient production
An efficient business will have lower operating costs
Job production - making one item at a time:
- Used for if a firm manufactures individual products
- Each product will have a unique design
- Often high skilled labour is required
- Expensive and take a long time to make
- Examples are ships and aeroplanes
Batch production - making groups of identical products
- Make same products at same time
- When a batch is complete they reorganise and make a batch of something else
- Suitable for products identical to each other but limited quantities
