from Part III - Industries
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 December 2021
Manufacturing is defined as the process of transforming raw materials, parts or components into finished goods or products for sale to customers whose expectations or requirements the goods or products meet. Employment of labor (man) and machinery, as the case may be, is vital in manufacturing.
