Batch vs. Continuous Processing

Batch processing involves producing a fixed amount of a product in separate, complete groups or "batches," often restarting the process for each new batch. It’s suitable for customized or small-scale production. Continuous processing runs the production line non-stop, with materials constantly flowing through the system, ideal for large-scale, uniform products. It offers faster, more consistent output but requires a steady supply of raw materials and setup. Think of batch processing like baking a single cake at a time, and continuous processing like a bakery producing bread continuously throughout the day.
