Intermittent flow systems, such as job shops or batch processes, typically do not keep an inventory of finished products because they produce goods in response to specific orders or in small batches, rather than for stock. This contrasts with continuous flow systems, which often have standardized products and maintain an inventory for immediate customer availability.
