In brewing, the production goes on 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. In continuous production, the production is continuous,24×7 hours, all days in a year.Ī good example of the Continous production is brewing. However, in continuous production, most of the work is done by machines rather than humans. In Mass production, both machines and humans work in tandem. It can be differentiated by a single element. There is a lot of confusion between mass production and continuous production.

Examples of batch production include FMCG like Biscuits, confectionaries, packaged food items etc. However, as long as there is a defined quantity of product which has to be manufactured before moving on to the next item in the list, it is known as batch production. The batches may be as small as 10 units or they may be as large as 1 lakh units of the same products.

Depending on demand, the batch production can produce the number of units required in one batch. They are manufactured on the basis of demand. Thus, a company like LG manufactures these variants via Batch production.įirst, one type of mixer will be manufactured completely and then the second type will be manufactured. There would be 10-20 types of mixer grinders alone in the product portfolio of LG home appliances. It has to manufacture all these different variants of the same type of product. LG has many different types of home appliance products in its portfolio. So, if a manufacturer has the shortage of Product X and 100 units of this product is consumed in one month, then the manufacturer can give orders for batch production of 100 units of Product X.

The manufacturer already knows the number of units he needs to a manufacturer and they are manufactured in one batch. It is one of the types of production most commonly used in consumer durables, FMCG or other such industries where there are large variety of products with variable demands.
