Introduction
Within food manufacturing companies, it is common practice to produce items in specific quantities or “batches.” Each batch goes through the entire production cycle before starting the next batch, allowing for customization and quality control. The Manufacturing Batch Size Extension enhances flexibility in batch manufacturing and related inventory processes. This ensures seamless management of lot tracking and traceability for companies operating in the food industry or similar sectors.
