Partially done work
Manifestations of partially done work
Partially done work is the result of batch production. Each person does his work at his own pace from number of assignments given to him. Then the next stage person is given a batch of jobs to choose and complete at his own pace and convenience. Therefore before each and after station or a person, partially done work exists. It is called work in process inventory in manufacturing.
