Batch Production Batch Production is a way of creating items in bulk. In batch production‚ general-purpose equipment and methods are commonly used to produce small quantities of items that will be made and sold for a limited time only. Usually a similar design and process will be used to make a new product‚ cars are a good example of this. Often after car has been made another version will be created that has got new features.
