A job order costing system would be more appropriate than a process costing system for manufacturers who use different types of goods throughout the manufacturing process. Process costing is best to you when manufacturing a large amount of the same items.
Batch processing means the production of units of products in continuous process where products units produced without any break and different process of making product continuously keep working and produce in mass quantities. It is different from job costing in this sense that in job costing, costs of separate jobs or projects are kept separate from each other and costing of each job is done separately which is not done in process or batch costing.

Different costing methods include job costing, process costing, activity-based costing (ABC), and standard costing. Job costing assigns costs to specific batches or projects, making it ideal for customized products. Process costing averages costs over continuous, homogeneous processes, suitable for mass production. Activity-based costing allocates overhead based on actual activities, providing more accurate cost insights, while standard costing involves setting budgeted costs for products to streamline variance analysis.
