Flow production

Flow production or mass production involves production of large amounts of products which move from one stage of production straight to the other e.g. mobile phone cases. Once the task is complete the next task must start immediately. The flow from one stage to the next is achieved either by conveyor belts, in the case of liquids by the pipelines. Flow production uses a lot of machinery in relation to workers.

The advantage to this is that products can be rolled off assembly lines at low prices. Also because the machine does not need to sleep it can work over night and on weekends improving productivity and thus lowering the cost per unit of production.

Using a machine to make products makes it very difficult to alter the production process and leaves little room for adjustment and the products must be very similar or standardized.

The biggest advantage is that there are more machines than workers which means they can produce a higher number of products at low cost. This also means that production can continue overnight and on weekends when workers would normally not have to work. It is also relatively inexpensive per unit and requires fewer workers if the process is mechanised, mass production is expensive to start off with to pay for all machinery, but that soon pays for itself with reduced costs for labour. With mass production, if machinery is accurate enough, the products made can be made all too exactly the same measurements, and will fit in perfectly with other suitable products continuously.

The biggest disadvantage is that the machinery makes production difficult to alter which makes production very inflexible and that means all the products have to be the same. The machinery is so expensive that there must be some assurance that the product will be successful so the company will get return on its investment.

With a high proportion of machinery compared to workers it increases the overall capital. Mass production has the purpose to serve large amounts of people.

It was popularized by Henry Ford in the early 20^th Century, especially in his Ford model T.
