What are the comparisons and characteristics of low-volume manufacturing?

Mass production refers to the number of identical products (or parts) in quality, structure, and manufacturing methods that are produced at one time by an enterprise (or workshop) within a certain period. Therefore, single-piece low-volume manufacturing refers to the production of a single-piece product that is the production of special products that are required in small batches. In fact, in many cases, the argument of low-volume manufacturing is more in line with the actual situation of the enterprise. So what are the comparisons and characteristics of low volume manufacturing? Next, let's take a look at the comparison and characteristics of low-volume manufacturing.

Comparison of low volume manufacturing

The single-piece low-volume manufacturing method and the mass production method are both typical production methods. The advantages of mass production with low cost, high efficiency, and high quality make it difficult to compete with medium mass production. Single-piece low volume manufacturing has firmly established itself in the market with its product innovation and uniqueness. There are three main reasons:

1. All kinds of machinery and equipment used in mass production are special equipment. The special equipment is manufactured in a single-piece low-volume manufacturing method, which is unique.

2. With the rapid advancement of technology and increasing competition, product life cycles are getting shorter and shorter, and the development of a large number of new products has become the key to a company's competitive advantage. Even if the new product is to be mass-produced, in the research and trial production stage, its structure, performance, and specifications need to be improved in various ways. It can only be a low-volume manufacturing method, which is innovative.

3. The products of low volume manufacturing are mostly production materials, such as large ships, power station boilers, chemical oil refining equipment, assembly-line production equipment of automobile factories, etc. They are the means for new production activities.

Features of low volume manufacturing

1. Low-volume manufacturing products have a long manufacturing cycle and a long order period.

2. Low volume manufacturing general-purpose equipment, employs many people, low production efficiency, and low labor productivity.

3. The cost of low-volume manufacturing is high.

4. The quality of low-volume manufacturing products is not easy to guarantee.
