Question

As you move from job shop towards continuous process: A. Your capital intensity decreases B. Your volume decreases C. Your customization ability decreases D. Your throughput decreases E. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: C. Your customization ability decreases.

Explanation:

Job Shops are able to customize products and services because they manufacture products on a small scale and usually for individual job orders whereas continuous processing is more large scale and the products are more homogeneous.

As one move from a job shop to a continuous process, they will find that they would be unable to customize products as much as they could before because they would be producing a higher volume of goods and so would not have the time to be customizing the products as much.
