Because the cost to pay a building contractor and the building are unique and typically produced in a non-continuous manner. b. Manufacturer of nylon yarn that sells to fabric-making textile companies is process. These are produced in a continuous manner. Each item is accountable and it is possible to account for a single item. c. An evening gown manufacturer that makes gowns in several different fabrics, colors, styles, and sizes would be job order. I say Job order because this seems to be tailored in a custom way and each item has different variables with time, cost of materials and variation of costs in fabrics.

Hosiery mill that manufacturers a one size ts all product is Process. These are manufactured continuously and it is easy to account for each item and the costs that go into it does not vary. e.
