Batch process a type of process used when a moderate volume variety of goods or services is desired. Repetitive process a type of process used when higher quantities of more standardized goods or services are needed. Production line a sequence of machines/workstations that perform operations on a part/product. Assembly line a production line where parts are added to a product separately. Continuous process used when a high volume of highly standardized output is required. Major characteristics of the four types of production process.
