Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Small-batch technology typically involves a flat organizational structure with a narrow span of control, as the focus is on producing a high quality and customized product in small quantities. Other technologies, such as mass production and continuous-process, involve larger, hierarchical structures with a wider span of control to manage the high volume production. Routine manufacturing may have some overlap with small-batch, but typically involves standardized processes and procedures, and may not involve as much customization or flexibility.
