Batch Production

What is Batch Production?

Batch production is a production method in which only a limited production quantity is manufactured. Batches are usually used to manufacture products that cannot be produced permanently, but rather have to be produced in partial quantities.

These products usually have identical production specifications. Examples of this type of production can be found in the steel industry, the chemical industry and the food industry.
