This item tests the candidates’ knowledge of manufacturing strategies.
Process manufacturing is a production method that creates goods by combining supplies, ingredients, or raw materials using a formula or recipe. It is often used in industries that produce bulk quantities of goods, such as food, beverages, refined oil, gasoline, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and plastics. Discrete manufacturing is a production of distinct items, where the resulting products are easily identifiable. This type is often used in industries like automobile, computers, and smartphones. Lean manufacturing is a production process based on an ideology of maximizing productivity while simultaneously minimizing waste within a manufacturing operation. The lean principle sees waste as anything that does not add value that the customers are willing to pay for.
