Batch Management
Batch management is used to identify one lot of production from another. This helps in
tracking the lots during their life-cycle, as well as recording the unique characteristics of each
lot. For instance, the expiry date or date of production of 2 lots can be different.
Batch Management can be applied to both process and discrete manufacturing industry.
So, let’s see FIFO Process , and also configurations
