batch process

Grouped task execution

A batch process handles multiple items or tasks together as a group rather than one at a time.

In computing, batch processing runs jobs without user interaction, often overnight: The payroll system runs as a batch process every Friday.

In manufacturing, it means producing goods in discrete quantities rather than continuously.
