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.
The manufacturing industry is typically divided into several sectors, including consumer goods, durable goods, and industrial goods. It can further be categorized into sub-sectors such as food and beverages, textiles, machinery, electronics, and automotive. Additionally, manufacturing can be classified by processes, such as batch production, continuous production, and discrete manufacturing. Each sector and sub-sector has distinct characteristics and challenges, influencing production methods and strategies.
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.
