Production processes: how products and services are made
Products are made using one of three types of production processes.
Mass production
Many identical goods are produced at once.
Producing many goods at once keeps production costs low.
Mass production relies heavily on standardization, mechanization, and specialization.
Mass customization
Goods are produced with mass-production techniques up to a certain point.
The product or service is then custom-tailored with special features for individual customers.

"10.2 The Production Process: How Do We Make It? 2. What types of production processes do manufacturers and service firms use? Products are made using one of three types of production processes. In mass production, many identical goods are produced at once, keeping production costs low. Mass production, therefore, relies heavily on standardization, mechanization, and specialization. When mass customization is used, goods are produced using mass-production techniques up to a point, after which the product or service is custom-tailored to individual customers by adding special features. When a firm’s production process is built around customization, the firm makes many products one at a time according to the very specific needs or wants of individual customers."
