Manufacturing

About This Industry

Manufacturing covers the production of goods from raw materials and components. Discrete manufacturing produces distinct items such as machinery, vehicles, and electronics; process manufacturing produces bulk or continuous output such as chemicals, food, and pharmaceuticals. Both rely on consistent supply of materials and reliable supplier networks. Supplier failures can halt production lines and impact customer commitments.
