Which term refers to production on a small scale centred on manual skills?

• A. Craft production
• B. Design for manufacture
• C. Density
• D. Cupping

Answer: (A)

This question is about production approaches defined by scale and reliance on manual skill. Craft production describes small-scale work where skilled artisans perform most tasks by hand, allowing customization and flexible, artisanal processes. That focus on individual craftsmanship and small batches fits the description of production centered on manual skills.

Design for manufacture, by contrast, is a design approach aimed at making products easy and cost-effective to manufacture at scale, usually with standardization and automation. Density is a property of materials, not a production method, and cupping is unrelated to production systems in this context.
