I think that batch number and serial number are almost the same thing when it comes to the numbers that are used to identify a product in the database of any business establishment that have their products tagged with batch numbers or serial numbers.
I think that batch numbers are usually assigned by many different companies in order to identify each product or each piece of a particular product. This may help companies deal with any kind of problem they may encounter in the future.
Seriously, to me batch numbers and serial numbers are the same thing. It's just the one a company decides to make use of. Although, there are some companies that have both batch numbers and serial numbers in one product.
In case if they want to assign a really unique forms of numbers that tend to identify products in an efficient manner, then they can assign both kinds of numbers. I have seen many different kinds of numbers on different kinds of products in the supermarket.
It is for easy identification and record purposes that most companies usually make use of batch numbers and serial numbers on their products. This serial numbers make it easier for them to identify those products whenever they are even looking for it in the computer system.
Sometimes a company may assign a particular kind of batch number on a box of products. They may then assign a serial number on each product. This depends on the policies of he company.
It doesn't necessarily mean that the batch number have something to do with the policy of the company but it's all about how they want to run their businesses. When they are having batch numbers and serial numbers on the product, it means that there is a system for them to be making use of those in running their businesses.
I think that it may have a lot to do with the policy of a business. There are certain kinds of businesses that do not assign any kind of batch number to products. There are many such kind of companies that never do that and most of them are local companies.
It is exactly what I pointed out that whenever there is a situation whereby a company makes use of batch numbers and serial numbers for the business products, it means that there is a system available for them to work with it in their business daily operational activities. Without the system being available, there is no way they're going to make a policy for such batch and serial numbers to exist on products.
Well, I reckon that it is only big companies that actually make use of such kind of batch numbers. This is due to the fact that they manufacture products at a really huge scale and they may need to trace down products in case if they need to do so.
