It is the continuous production of food for emample that is uniform in shape size, and very consistant in products. It operates 24/7, 7 days a week.
Some manufacturing is discrete, some continuous.
Discrete is something that is not continuous, or in other words. Not doing it continuous.

In the manufacturing world, continuous improvement is one of the factors of Total Quality as described by Phillips Demming.
A continuous control system is design and built to perform one manufacturing task, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with some time required for system maintenance. An example of a continuous control system is a car assembly line.
The 3 main types of industrial production are: a continuous flow where thousands of the product are made 24/7, mass production where hundreds are made (usually on a production line) but not 24/7, and a batch where only about 5- 150 of the product is created.
I would have thought it would be good because they can keep the machinery constantly running, as well as producing more stuff.
Manufacturing is the process of converting raw materials into finished goods through various techniques, including machining, assembly, and fabrication. It is typically classified into several categories: discrete manufacturing, which involves the production of distinct items like automobiles; process manufacturing, which focuses on the production of goods in bulk, such as chemicals or food products; and additive manufacturing, which builds objects layer by layer, commonly used in 3D printing. Additionally, manufacturing can be categorized by production volume, such as job shop, batch, mass, and continuous production.
A continuous process industry is a type of manufacturing process that produces goods without interruption. This involves a continuous flow of raw materials through various stages of production, often resulting in a constant output of products. Industries such as oil refining, chemical production, and power generation are examples of continuous process industries.
