Which term is another name for one-off production?

• A. Jobbing
• B. Volume Production
• C. Batch Production
• D. Continuous Production

Answer: (A)

One-off production means making a single item or a very small number of items tailored to one customer, so the term that fits best is jobbing. It describes flexible, customized work where each job can be different and needs individual attention, rather than a repeated, standardized process.

The other production types are about high-volume, standardized output. Volume production aims for large quantities of identical products; batch production makes a group of identical items before switching to another group; continuous production runs nonstop to produce large quantities of the same product. These don’t align with one-off, highly customized work, which is why jobbing is the correct term.
