| - | '''Manufacturing''' is the [[Production (economics)|production]] of [[goods]] through the use of [[Work (human activity)|labor]], [[machine]]s, [[tool]]s, and [[chemical]] or [[biological process]]ing or [[formulation]]. It is the essence of [[secondary sector of the economy]]. The term may refer to a range of human activity, from [[handicraft]] to [[High tech manufacturing|high-tech]], but it is most commonly applied to [[industrial design]], in which [[raw material]]s from the [[primary sector of the economy|primary sector]] are transformed into [[finished good]]s on a large scale. Such goods may be sold to other manufacturers for the production of other more complex products (such as [[aircraft]], [[Major appliance|household appliances]], [[furniture]], [[sports equipment]] or [[automobiles]]), or distributed via the [[tertiary industry]] to [[end user]]s and [[consumer]]s (usually through [[wholesale]]rs, who in turn sell to [[retailer]]s, who then sell them to individual [[customer]]s). | ||
| - | [[Manufacturing engineering]], or the '''manufacturing process''', are the steps through which raw materials are transformed into a [[final product]]. The manufacturing process begins with the [[product design]], and [[Bill of materials|materials specification]] from which the product is made. These materials are then modified through manufacturing processes to become the required part. | + | In product development, an '''end user''' (sometimes '''end-user'''). |
| - | + | ||
| - | Modern manufacturing includes all intermediate processes required in the production and integration of a product's components. Some industries, such as [[Fabrication (semiconductor)|semiconductor]] and [[Fabrication (metal)|steel]] manufacturers, use the term ''fabrication'' instead. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | The manufacturing sector is closely connected with the [[engineering]] and industrial design. Examples of major manufacturers in North America include [[General Motors Corporation]], [[General Electric]], [[Procter & Gamble]], [[AbbVie]], [[Unilever]], [[General Dynamics]], [[Boeing]], [[Pfizer]], [[Precision Castparts]], and [[Fiat Chrysler Automobiles]]. Examples in Europe include [[Volkswagen Group]], [[Siemens]], [[BASF]] and [[Michelin]]. Examples in Asia include [[Toyota Industries|Toyota]], [[Yamaha]], [[Panasonic]], [[LG]], [[Samsung]], [[Godrej & Boyce]] and [[Tata Motors]]. | + | |
