Sounds like you're printing all at once, what you could try is sequential printing, where one part is printed somewhere on the build plate and finished, then you move to another part of the build plate and finish another part etc. That way a failed part has less chance to screwing up the rest of the parts. I think it might also decrease print time since you don't need to constantly travel between parts.

If you're using PLA and the prints are small, moving from one to another is a good way to prevent them from turning into mushy blobs.
If the problem is prints not sticking to the bed, maybe that's the problem to address. Then you can print batches of stuff all day long without failures.
You can print in batches if you have a flat bed, properly leveled (and if it's heated, heated evenly):

I have each thread within .002" of eachother for leveling my bed. I gonogo my caliper on the side my print head is home on for the Z axis and adjust the other side accordingly. My extruder is Y-.125" off build plate and the plate is adjusted to that value every print. I have a heated bed but I want to try just using a glue stick as I haven't done that yet. But my problem is I am trying to print a full chess set of Dragons and kitties off of Thingverse and I cant even get past 10 layers before the smaller ones start shifting.
