'''Batch production''' is a method of manufacturing in which products are made as specified groups or amounts, within a time frame. A batch can go through a series of steps in a large manufacturing process to make the final desired product.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/technology/production-system|title=Production system {{!}} industrial engineering|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en|access-date=2019-05-11}}</ref><ref name=":4">{{Cite web|url=https://www.mbaknol.com/operations-management/batch-production-and-its-key-characteristics/|title=Batch Production and {{sic|It|'s|nolink=y}} Key Characteristics|date=2010-04-29|website=MBA Knowledge Base|language=en-US|access-date=2019-05-11}}</ref> Batch production is used for many types of manufacturing that may need smaller amounts of production at a time to ensure specific quality standards or changes in the process. This is opposed to large [[mass production]] or [[continuous production]] methods, where the product or process does not need to be checked or changed as frequently or periodically.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://simplicable.com/new/batch-production-vs-mass-production|title=Batch Production vs Mass Production|website=Simplicable|date=10 February 2017 |access-date=2019-05-11}}</ref>
