Job shops are small manufacturing operations used for handling specialised manufacturing processes such as a single order or small batch jobs. Job shops usually move on to other jobs from different customers after completion of each job.
Problems regarding the use of job shop manufacturing are high direct labour cost involved, high quality variation due to design inconsistencies and high raw material costs due to low volume needs. Some industries using job shops are the aerospace and construction industries.
Assembly lines, in comparison to job shops, are a faster and more cost effective way of production. Assembly lines are often used to mass produce products such as automobiles, textile and food industries.
