LO 6.2Explain how each activity in this list can be associated with the corresponding unit or batch level provided.

Assembling products: unit level

Issuing raw materials: batch level

Machine setup: batch level

Inspection: unit level

Loading the labeling machine: batch level

Equipment maintenance: batch level

Printing a banner: unit level

Moving material: batch level

Ordering a part: batch level

Unit Level activity occurs each time a service is provided or product is produced.

Batch Level activity occurs when a complete lot or set is produced which involves similar activities. Some products require individual and collective manufacturing to have finished products. For example shoes are made with the same material and manufactured in the same way. so the whole lot is produced in a batch.

Explanation:

Assembling Products is an activity which requires unit level activity as each unit is assembled separately. For examples each car is assembled separately so it is a unit level.

Issuing raw materials is a batch level as material are issued in bulk for many processes together.

3) Machine set up is a batch level because the whole machine carries out a number of activities.

4) Inspection is a unit level. Each product is inspected separately and carefully.

5) Loading and Labeling machine is also a batch level has as it has many individual (parts) products that are finished together through different processes.

6) Equipment Maintenance is also a batch as it requires maintenance of many parts together.

7) Printing a banner is a unit level as banner is separate and one for the whole process. Printing have direct correlation to the number produced.

8) Moving material: is also batch level as it has many runs or cycles of material handling.

9) Ordering a part is also a batch level as it is produced in batches rather than a whole finished unit.
