Besides the type of production, operations managers classify production processes in which two further ways?

1. The first classification is by type of production, which gives mass production, mass customization, and customization. 2. A second classification asks how inputs are converted into outputs. 3. That question separates process manufacturing, where an input is broken down, from the assembly process, where inputs are combined or transformed. 4. A third classification asks about the timing of the process. 5. That question separates a continuous process from an intermittent one. 6. Price, workforce size, and country of origin describe the business rather than the process, so none of them is a way of classifying production. _Source: OpenStax Introduction to Business (CC BY 4.0), Ch 10 "Achieving World-Class Operations Management", section 10.2 The Production Process: How Do We Make It?_
