Write a note on manufacturing industry.
Manufacturing industries are engaged in producing goods through processing of raw materials and thus creating form utilities. They turn out diverse finished products, that we consume, through the conversion of raw materials or partly finished materials in their manufacturing operations. Manufacturing industries may be further divided into four categories on the basis of method of operation for production. - Analytical industry which analyses and separates different elements from the same materials, as in the case of oil refinery.
- Synthetical industry which combines various ingredients into a new product, as in the case of cement.
- Processing industry which involves successive stages for manufacturing finished products, as in the case of sugar and paper.
- Assembling industry which assembles different component parts to make a new product, as in the case of television, car, computer, etc.
