A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViECZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ManufacturingRun</a> may consist of several steps, each of which is typically a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjhdZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Manufacturing</a>.

ContinuousManufacturingProcess continuous manufacturing process A collection of events. Each element of this collection is a continuous manufacturing process that can be kept going arbitrarily long (depending on, e.g., the availability of inputs, power, labor, etc.). Product begins to be produced some time after the process is started and continues to be produced during the run. A hallmark of continuous (vs. batch or run) manufacturing is that inputs are added continously or periodically, and outputs and byproducts are removed continously or periodically, during the process. manufacturing a single object ManufacturingASingleObject A collection of events. In each <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVj4t5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ManufacturingASingleObject</a> event, manufacturing procedures are applied to only a single object or a single chunk of stuff. This includes both one-off creation events such as carving a statue, and also can be a `slice' of a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVj375wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MassManufacturing</a> event in which all that is considered is how one single small lump of stuff or set of parts gets acted on to become some new thing. In the latter case, then, what is `produced' is one car, one can of Coke, etc., even though that is just one part or iteration of a mass manufacturing event taking place.
