A form of mass production in which different operations are carried out continuously and sequentially; products move from one operation to the next.

• A. Mass Production
• B. Line Production
• C. Standardization
• D. Flow Production

Answer: (D)

Flow production describes a mass-production system where work moves continuously in a sequence from one operation to the next. The aim is high throughput and efficiency, achieved by arranging tasks so each step follows directly after the previous one with minimal stopping. This continuous flow reduces idle time and often relies on standardized tasks and components, keeping units costs down. While mass production is the broad idea of producing in large quantities, and line production involves a production line setup, the key feature here is the uninterrupted, sequential movement of products through successive operations, which defines flow production.
