Batch production is using the same labour and equipment to produce a range of different products
Effective because:
• Same labour and equipment can be used for different products
• Workers may specialise to some degree
• Production is faster as several of the same product are made at the same time
• Increased output results in increased profit
• Can take advantage of economies of scale
• Motivation due to switching products
• Better quality because of equipment
• Can appeal to market segments
