Job Production - GCSE Business Definition

Reviewed by: Steve Vorster

Published

Job production is a manufacturing process where a single product is custom-made to meet specific customer requirements. Each product is individually crafted. It is ideal for bespoke items or specialised projects such as tailored suits, custom-made furniture, or unique machinery. This approach allows businesses to focus on quality and detail, providing a high degree of customisation. It is more expensive because it is labour-intensive and lacks economies of scale. Understanding job production is crucial for GCSE Business students as it highlights the trade-off between customisation and cost and helps them appreciate how different production methods impact business operations and customer satisfaction.
