Question

Company A makes canned tomatoes. The plant operates around the clock and has a long conveyor belt to take the

tomatoes from receiving through processing and packaging. Which of the following describes the type of
manufacturing being done and its layout? (Select all that apply.)
continuous
batch
bulk
discrete

Answer 1

bulk

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tomatoes are produced in a bulk and the canned products are sent out in batches but the process of moving tomatoes from receiving through packaging and processing is done on a conveyor belt which is a continuous process.

Therefore, the production of tomatoes in a bulk is a continuous process which goes on around the clock on a conveyor belt and the final products are sent out in batches which have their own unique identity number.
