Please explain why the in-process inventory is likely to be higher for an intermittent operation than for a continuous flow operation?

In accounting and finance, the level of in-process inventory can vary significantly depending on the type of production operation a company employs. In-process inventory, also known as work-in-progress (WIP), represents partially completed goods that are in the production process but have not yet reached the finished goods stage. The level of in-process inventory can be influenced by various factors, including the type of production system being used. To understand why in-process inventory is likely to be higher for an intermittent operation compared to a continuous flow operation, we need to delve into the characteristics of each production system.
