Britannica defines manufacturing as:

“Manufacturing, any industry that makes products from raw materials by the use of manual labor or machinery and that is usually carried out systematically with a division of labor. (See industry.) In a more limited sense, manufacturing denotes the fabrication or assembly of components into finished products on a fairly large scale.”

It sounds simple right?  

The definition just scratches the surface of what manufactures manage on a daily basis. The complexities of machinery, human labor and the supporting supply chain require robust processes and supporting systems to deliver timely and profitable goods.
