Explain difference between Discrete mfg and Process manufacturing?

Answer:

Discrete manufacturing is distinguished by the production
of distinct items that use bills of material and routings
to determine costs and lead times.

Examples: Automobile manufacturing, computer manufacturing,
dishwasher and washing machine manufacturing, etc .

Process manufacturing is distinguished by a production
approach that has minimal interruptions in actual
processing in any one production run, or between production
runs of similar products. This approach produces multiple
unique products in relatively small batches flowing through
different production operations throughout the factory.

They are normally producing a Product that is "Homogeneous"
and equally divided for the convenience of packaging.

Typical examples are Food, pharmaceutical and other batched-
based manufacturers such as refineries, wineries, etc .
