CEVAP:

The selection of a process structure is determined by many factors. Some
of the most important ones are as follows:

• The expected volume and demand pattern for the products.
• The number of different products manufactured by the system and
the processing type that each one requires.
• The type of the customer order, which defines whether the product
is made to stock or made to order.
• The physical characteristics of the products and the specific technologies required to produce them.
