Answer 1

Batch process and Assembly line process are two very effective methods of production and both type of methods are used these days but for a faster and quality oriented manufacturing assembly lines are preferred over batch process.

When shifting production from batch process to assembly process a company have to invest heavily in the starting for preparing assembly lines as they are highly automated and interconnected with one another for a continues and steady work flow. Human resource department provide the highly skilled and technically sound workforce and number of employees can be reduced due to this. Financial needs can improve the efficiently of accounting system and a highly effective Information System infrastructure is required and developed for successful implementation and operation of assembly line process. As automation is used to control the process so a good information system is be back bone of this process and human resource must be technically skills with their job knowledge.
