Question: In a batch process, why is it necessary for an entire order to complete processing at one workstation before moving to the next? How does this cause utilization of equipment to be reduced?
Answer: Because there are several different jobs going on, you want to keep all of one specific job in each workstation so that it doesnt get confused with other orders going on. You also cut down on utilization of your equipment by doing this because the machine/employees are only concentrating on one project at a time. This helps from overloading your equipment.
