Which production approach involves producing large amounts of standardized products on production lines with very high production rates per worker?

• A. Laminated boards
• B. Mass production
• C. M2M
• D. Magneto-rheostatic

Answer: (B)

Mass production is about turning out large quantities of the same product by moving items along a fixed production line. Each worker performs simple, specialized tasks while machines handle much of the work. This setup raises throughput and reduces cost per unit through standardization and economies of scale. It suits steady demand and uniform products, like in car manufacturing or mass-market electronics.

Laminated boards describe a material made by layering sheets, not a production method. M2M focuses on device communication, not how items are produced. Magneto-rheostatic relates to smart materials used in components, not a way to organize production.
