If one follows its history, from the Polish ghettos to the gas vans of Chelmno, and culminating in the deadly efficiency of Auschwitz-Birkenau, one can see a drive to make the process businesslike, consistent, and economical.
Which was the ultimate purpose. Making it businesslike. There are certain Himmler quotes about taking the stress from the executioners by industrializing the process.
