Job Shop Production usually refers to manufacturers that produce items that are "one of a kind"‚ for example‚ manufactures of automation systems and tooling. Manufacturers who produce a wide variety of items in very low volumes also fall into the job shop category. For example‚ very large mining trucks are produced in volumes typically less than 400 annually. Each truck has thousands of components so you can imagine that there are significant challenges in production scheduling‚ purchasing and inventory

SOLAR ENERGY PRODUCTION IN INDIA Coming specifically to the land of much sun‚ heat and humidity as well as persistent power shortages‚ overdependence on coal (52%) and huge oil and gas imports‚ solar energy production in India remains appallingly low. This is made evident by the minimal range of solar energy products in India. Solar lighting (solar lamps‚ street lights)‚ rural electrification‚ solar water heaters‚ solar cookers and PV pumps sum up the measly range of solar energy products

Considering the production of maize and shirts in Botswana‚ we can use the notion of the production possibilities curves to determine levels of efficiency‚ inefficiency‚ economic growth and technological improvement. The production possibilities curve (PPC) is a graph that shows the different quantities of the two goods (in this case‚ maize and shirts) that an economy (Botswana) could efficiently produce with the limited productive resources. To be able to illustrate this simply we assume that

staff fails to report to work. It can result in quality of the output and in some cases it can bring a complete closure for production. The definition of absenteeism‚ its causes‚ its affects on productivity and its costs in term of finances and administrative effectiveness are quite clear‚ the challenge is in taking affirmative action to control it. People can be absent from work for a number of reason‚ some of them for a very good reason but whatever the reason‚ absence is costly and disruptive and
