Answer 1

When a company decides to subcontract any of the projects and make an advert for various subcontractors to bid, it is unethical to go behind the works ethics when the latter repossessed. It is advisable for the construction management to fully evaluate projects and determine the company's capacity to fund the projects fully or determine cost-benefit analyses of either subcontracting or not. When subcontractors' decision to arrive at biddings is received from various subcontractors, it is unethical and illegal to refute the laws that guide confirmed bidding processes.

Assembly line is used in discrete manufacturing where workers are assigned repeatable tasks, and the other tasks lead to the other in a chain resulting in a completion. Manufacturing of automobiles applies assembly line to fully manufacture the whole vehicle system by coordinated assembly line diagrams.
