Question One

- Craft production system
One of the main advantages of craft production systems is that even if the volume of production is low, the products fetch very high prices. Additionally, the quality of the products is high because the process is coordinated by the owner while he is directly in contact with the customers, contractors and workers. This notwithstanding, the production can only be owned by the rich because it is capital intensive. The quality of the products is still unpredictable because all products are essentially prototypes.
- Mass production systems
This system is advantageous in ...
