Before revision: Advantages Easy management: low work in progress and scheduling without simultaneous processing of different products Low need for manpower Less space needed (compare with job shop) Less output variability: no alternative technological cycles and quality control is more effective (less WIP and easier to automate) High system saturation: less production mix variability Fast lead times
