Batch - Definition and Overview

A Batch is a group of similar items produced, processed or gathered together and treated as a single unit.

Batch is an adjective used to describe

• Batch production - a method used to produce or process any product in groups that can be called batches, as opposed to a continuous production process. For example baked goods such as cakes are typically produced in batches, while oil refineries often use continuous processes.
• Batch processing of tasks by a computer, in which processing-intensive activities are grouped and processed as units, rather than being processed immediately on demand.
