A job shop is a functional organization whose departments or work centers are organized around particular processes that consist of specific types of equipment and/or operations, such as drilling and assembly in a factory, and scanning and printing in a computer laboratory. A good example of a job shop in a service environment is a hospital, which has designated areas for blood tests, x-rays, and radiation treatments. In all these cases, the good produced or the service provided is based upon an individual order for a specific customer.
