Batch production, left over Explanation: This is a common terms in pharmaceutical production. A manufacturer will proceed several lots of the same product and each time will have a small left over. When the process is finished all the left over from each batch are then mixed together to obtain enough product to run a batch - thus, batch production left over. |
