Batch assembly is a manufacturing process where products are made in groups or "batches" rather than one at a time or continuously. This method allows for the efficient production of items that may require different configurations or variations. Each batch is completed before moving on to the next, which can help manage resources and reduce waste.
In batch assembly, workers or machines perform specific tasks on each batch, such as assembling parts or applying finishes. This approach is commonly used in industries like automotive and electronics, where different models or versions of a product are produced in limited quantities.
