Manufacturing
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.

- How well is organization managing materials from FIFO, supporting third party providers to tracking scrap through the manufacturing processes?
- Is your organization considering expanding or relocating production lines?
