Job Production

Job Production concentrates on producing one product from start to finish. Once one product is complete, another can begin.

It is extremely labour intensive

Some examples:

  • Wedding dress
  • Painting
  • House extension

Advantages of Job Production:

  • Easy to organise production
  • Can customise orders
  • ‘one-off’ orders can be accommodated
  • Workers involved in entire production process from start to finish

Disadvantages of Job Production:

  • Production costs likely to be high
  • Production time may be longer
  • Investment in machinery may be higher as specialist equipment may be needed
