Manufacturing - The term may refer to a range of
human activity, from handicraft to high tech, but is most commonly
applied to industrial
production, in which raw materials are transformed into finished
goods on a large scale. Such finished goods may be used for
manufacturing other, more complex products, such as household appliances
or automobiles, or sold to wholesalers, who in turn sell them to
retailers, who then sell them to end users - the "consumers".
Manufacturing takes turns under all types of economic systems. In a free
market economy, manufacturing is usually directed toward the mass
production of products for sale to consumers at a profit. In a
collectivist economy, manufacturing is more frequently directed by the
state to supply a centrally planned economy. In free market economies,
manufacturing occurs under some degree of government regulation.

Modern manufacturing includes all intermediate processes required for the
production and integration of a product's components. Some industries,
such as semiconductor and steel manufacturers use the term fabrication
instead.
The manufacturing sector is closely connected with engineering and
industrial design. Examples of major manufacturers in the United States
include General Motors Corporation, Ford Motor Company, Chrysler,
Boeing, Gates Rubber Company and Pfizer. Examples in Europe include
Airbus, Daimler, BMW, Fiat, and Michelin Tyre. |
