Afterglow, a body and bath products manufacturing company, produces around 12,000 bottles of shampoo a day. the production system used by the company is very efficient, and it packs close to 1000 bottles per hour. once the production system is turned on, it functions round the clock to cap and deposit bottles until the machine is turned off.

The production system is Continuous-flow manufacturing

Explanation:

Continuous-flow production, or repetitive-flow production, is a discrete manufacturing strategy that juxtaposes with batch production.

This is correlated with the just-in-time production strategy and calls for continuing review and enhancement efforts that eventually involve all components of the production system to be integrated.

The objective is a production line that is efficiently controlled with very little waste, the lowest possible expense, on-time and defect-free production.

Typically this approach is enforced in discrete manufacturing as an ongoing effort to manage manufacturing portions consisting of discrete product units in a flow that is found more naturally in process manufacturing.
