ITPEC FE Morning October 2021 Question 71
ITPEC FE Morning October 2021 — Question 71 of 80
Cell production is a manufacturing approach where a single worker or small team assembles a product from start to finish, rather than using a conveyor/assembly line. It is best suited for small-batch, high-variety products that require flexible production.
The correct answer is (c): a product that requires a variety of types and needs flexible production — this is exactly what cell production is designed for.
Why not others:
- (a) Large-quantity production for productivity → suits line (assembly) production, not cell production
- (b) Division of labor based on standardization, simplification, and specialization → describes line production principles
- (d) Specifications unchanged over a long period → stable specs favor line production, since no flexibility is needed
Key rule: Cell production = flexibility + variety + small batches; Line production = volume + standardization + efficiency.
