what are the major characteristics of flow intermittent and project manufacturing?
605139
Characteristics of Intermittent System: The flow of production is intermittent, not continuous. The volume of production is generally small. A wide variety of products are produced. General purpose, machines, and equipment are used so as to be adaptable to a wide variety of operations.

Discrete manufacturing is characterised by frequent changes (in products and their quantities) that reflect customer requirements. In repetitive manufacturing, on the other hand, the same or similar products are produced over a longer period of time – we usually speak about mass production.

Discrete manufacturing involves assembling things, and making things that are distinct. The methodology uses Bills of Materials (BOMs), and assembles components along a routing. ... Whereas process manufacturing involves mixing of ingredients according to specific formulas or recipes.

Scheduling objectives Time: minimize the total duration of the project. Net present value: maximize the discounted cash flows of project activities. Work continuity: avoid idle time of bottleneck resources in a project. Leveling: avoid resource jumps but try to balance the use of resources.

A process flow diagram (PFD) is a diagram commonly used in chemical and process engineering to indicate the general flow of plant processes and equipment. The PFD displays the relationship between major equipment of a plant facility and does not show minor details such as piping details and designations.

Projects are a frequent part of business. They differ from routine activities in that they usually have a narrow focus, specific deadline and may occur only once or infrequently. Some project types recur but differ in their goals.
