Decks of playing cards and compact discs are both examples of products that can be produced using the same system (such as a continuous flow or continuous process system). Custom-built homes and original works of art would likely require a job order system, where each unit is customized to the customer's specifications. Plastic bottles and aluminum cans could both be produced using a batch production system. However, made-to-order smoothies would require a flexible production system to accommodate varying customer orders. Compact discs and made-to-order smoothies are therefore examples of products that would use different systems.
