Nevertheless the chemical industries nowadays are increasingly involved in specialty chemicals (small quantity, batch production, high added value) as well as formulated products (complex mixtures targeted to confer specific end-use properties).
On the other hand, other electronic components are led by labor-intensive industries dominated by small and medium enterprises with small quantity batch production methods.
Chemical synthesis provides custom-made peptides in small quantities, but production approaches based upon transgenic organisms might be more cost-effective for large-scale peptide production.
This can be because of their size, the extra effort and skill put into making them, their scarcity (they may have been produced in small quantities and production has since stopped), or the fact that they may have to be imported from far-off places.
3DP permits to save time and cost in producing prototypes, well suits the production of small quantity rather than mass production, and allows the creation of diverse product types that fulfill different consumer needs and desires.
The decision on Tuesday by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to increase production by 500,000 barrels a day, a relatively small quantity when compared with total production, appeared to make little difference.
Purchase a small quantity of a product before buying a bulk quantity.
It has not yet reached mass production, being produced in a small quantity as limited edition (McKenna 2016; Under Armour 3d-architech 2016; Garfield 2016).
At the same time new forms of production started to work in Hungary: smaller production centers with flexible needs for transport (small quantity, 'just in time'), which could only be satisfied by road transport involving fresh private capital.
