Batch management in production
Batch management is arrangement part of the full order quantity to manage machinery, manpower as per capabilities of the production and maintain quality accordingly.

In batch management is arranging and define quantities per batch to considering quantity of job order and plant capacity, this is simple method but very important for the manufacturing & processing units to conducting / producing each job with maintain required quality in time frame.
The process of the batch management in the production is established on marketing approvals of the order from customers, when the marketing is inserted job order for the manufacturing processes that planning is conducting and establish batches, planning department is consider the job order quantity for the each batch to consider quality of the product, time frame and plan capacity to run the product in manufacturing processes, during manufacturing processes, quality department is taken the sample for the testing to ensure the product quality is as per required technical and customer specifications and requirements. Batch managing is not just bifurcation of the quantity of the job order to conduct the batch on machines or plant at different time and locations but is more about the product quality & management of the machinery and equipment should be proper busy and managing each job running in the production should complete on time.
In the planning department batch wise quantity is manage that each batch should be identified with its unique number, in manufacturing processes everyone get by batch number instead the job order or customer name are not much considered for the processes, unique batch number only identity of bunch of quantity of product. On base of batch number all processes, sub processes, quality testing, in process inspection, and final quality testing is conducted to ensure each batch product quality concentration is maintained in each level of process, each batch should be same product quality is much important.

Batch tracking sheet is very important document not only for production but all rest department to determine status of the product in production & further actions according to customer requirements. Generally this document is established and maintained by production department but the report and other analysis records manage by various departments accordingly.
Batch tracking sheet is continuous document, when any order is finished that second order is conducted in the sheet that is the same as register, but it can be manage separately order wise or establish as order wise is possible and easier for the tracking and managing material for product and planning too, batch tracking sheet is part of the batch management, batch tracking sheet’s work is finished for the job order when whole order quantity is complete and possible to move at next process, some time when the job order quantity is huge that impossible to wait for further quantity released from production to quality inspection that, batch wise quality inspection is conducted to easier for quality to move material to save the time and consider the quality of each batch which is in still production.
