Question

TrinkCan, a soda manufacturing company, produces around 50,000 cans of soda per day. The production system used by the company is very efficient, and it releases close to 3,000 cans per hour. Once the production system is turned on, it functions round the clock to seal and release cans until the machine is turned off. The production system of TrinkCan is an example of _____.

Answer 1

Answer: Continuous-flow manufacturing

Explanation:

Continuous-flow manufacturing, also known as the repetitive-flow manufacturing involves the move from one work unit at a time between every step of the process with no breaks in sequence, time, substance, or extent.

The aim of the continuous manufacturing flow is to manufacture a flow production to produce, manufacture, or process materials uninterrupted.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. Continuos flow production

Explanation:

Continuos-Flow production also called repetitive flow production is a production process technique in which products are moved from start to finish without stopping. In this scenario, the machine responsible for production functions round the clock to seal and release cans until the machine is turned off, hence why it is a continuous flow manufacturing system. In continous flow production process, optimization is achieved using minimum inventory.
