These are two items from a list of various fields and industries. They are options for a question along the lines of "Choose the description below which best fits your industry?"

Accounting
Manufacturing (discrete)
Manufacturing (processing)
Computers/IT
Agriculture

I believe processing should be "förädling", but what is "discrete" in this context.

I should add that this survey is from a major software provider.

detaljtillverkning


Explanation:
Jag vet inte säkert vad det heter på svenska, men länken nedan kan kanske vara till någon hjälp. Där stod så här: Discrete manufacturing—manufacturing of distinct items (items you can easily count, touch, see) such as a pencil, a light bulb, a telephone, a bicycle, a fuel pump, etc. Discrete as opposed to process manufacturing.
