Figure 1. Furniture manufacturers that make different styles of furniture may use a batch production process.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n Figure 1. Furniture manufacturers that make different styles of furniture may use a batch production process.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nBatch production<\/strong> is a method used to produce similar items in groups, stage by stage. Rather than continuous production, items are made in finite quantities called batches. For example, a bakery might make 100 chocolate chip cookies, then switch to 50 loaves of bread, then 200 croissants. In batch production, the entire group of items goes through each stage of the process together before moving on to the next stage.<\/p>\r\n The degree to which workers are involved in this type of production depends on the type of product. Workers typically manage the setup of each batch, monitor the production process, and perform quality checks. While machinery is often used for the actual production, workers make key decisions about batch sizes, timing, and production schedules. This method is ideal for businesses that need flexibility to make different products or variations of products.<\/p>\r\n Common examples of batch production include:<\/p>\r\n American Leather, a Dallas-based furniture manufacturer, uses mass customization to produce couches and chairs to customer specifications within 30 days. The basic frames in the furniture are the same, but automated cutting machinery precuts the color and type of leather ordered by each customer. Using mass-production techniques, they are then added to each frame.<\/p>\r\n<\/section>\r\n Batch production<\/strong> is a method used to produce similar items in groups, stage by stage.
