Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A production system that combines raw materials or parts into a finished product or changes raw materials into different finished products is a synthetic production system. "Extractive" refers to production systems that extract raw materials from nature (e.g. mining, fishing). "Intermittent" refers to production systems that produce products in batches, rather than continuous streams. "Unified" is not a recognized term in production systems.
