A manufacturing environment often characterized by a batch or continuous transformation of a gas, liquid or powder, low product complexity and manufacturing variations, fixed or dedicated facilities, a flat bill of material and relatively few transactions
Manufacturing where a product is produced or transformed through mixing, chemical reactions, etc Examples of process manufacturing would be refining crude oil into gasoline, extracting copper from ore, combining materials to make paint
A type of manufacturing that produces products by mixing, separating, forming, reacting etc (e g as in a chemical plant) It may be done in either batch or continuous mode See repetitive (discrete) manufacturing
Production that adds value by mixing, separating, forming, and/or performing chemical reactions e g food, chemical, oil industries It may be done in either batch or continuous mode The detailed functional requirements of process manufacturers usually differ significantly from the requirements of discrete manufacturers
