Tertiary
Explain Deindustrialization?

2)Higher standard of education has qualified more people to work in the tertiary sector
What are the 4 methods of manufacturing?
1) Job
2) Batch
3) Process
4) Flow
Explain Job manufacturing
Job manufacturing is when one single item is completed at a time based on the customer’s unique specification
Examples of Job manufacturing
1) House Plans
2)designer clothes
Advantages of Job Manufacturing
