Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The firm's fixed processing sequence that operates 24/7 and produces standardized products in high volumes points to the use of a continuous flow process. This process is characterized by a high level of automation, repetition, and low variability in the product produced. The accurate volume forecast further reinforces the suitability of this process as it helps in maintaining the efficiency of the continuous flow process.
