Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intermittent operations usually require flexible labor and equipment, and produce a variety of products with varying processing requirements. They are not capital intensive, as the equipment can be general-purpose and easily reconfigured to handle different products. The volume of goods produced is also not directly tied to the number of customer orders, as intermittent operations usually have a large inventory of semi-finished goods that can be quickly finished and shipped upon receiving an order.
