For the advantages, the typically results in high-accuracy assembly as production line machines are input with fixed parameters. Labor cost will also be reduce as the goods will be mostly made by machines. It will also assemble at a quicker rate due to increased automation and efficiency. Whereas for the disadvantages, mass production may result wasted resources as it will sometimes have production design error, not only will have resources wasted, it will also cost a lot due to the redesign and rebuilt mass production process. If one area was interrupted, the entire production process will be affected.
