which may be either continuous or periodic


Explanation:
It's talking about the monitoring of the manufacturing process--which may consist either of intermittent, periodic monitoring or continuous/constant monitoring.

Permanente is one of those words where, more often then not, the closest cognate is *not* the best choice in English. Depending on the context, remember to consider such options as ongoing, continuous, continual etc.
