The Industrial Process

Industrial Process is a systematic series of mechanical or chemical operations that produce or

manufacture something.

Industrial processes are procedures involving chemical, physical, electrical or mechanical steps to aid in
the manufacturing of an item or items, usually carried out on a very large scale.

Chemical processes - method intended to be used in manufacturing or on an industrial scale (see

Industrial process) to change the composition of chemical(s) or material(s), usually using technology
similar or related to that used in chemical plants or the chemical industry.

Mechanical processes – the method used to change the physical properties of an object or element that
it can be used in a desirable way depending on the specifications given.

Manufacturing industries

Manufacturing is the process of transforming materials or components into finished products that can
be sold in the marketplace. Every physical product that you buy in a store or online is manufactured
somewhere.

Manufacturing industries are those that engage in the transformation of goods, materials or substances
into new products. The transformational process can be physical, chemical or mechanical.
Manufacturers often have plants, mills or factories that produce goods for public consumption.
Machines and equipment are typically used in the process of manufacturing. But some products don’t
need machines because they can be done by hand like handcrafted jewelries, food, and arts.

Apparel Industry - All establishments producing clothing and fabricating products by cutting and
sewing purchased woven or knit textile fabrics and related materials, such as leather, rubberized fabrics,
plastics, and furs. This does not include knitting mills (see Textile Mill Products) or custom tailors and
dressmakers.
 Chemical and Allied Industry - All establishments producing basic chemicals, and establishments
manufacturing products by predominantly chemical processes. This does not include the mining of
natural chemicals and fertilizers (see Mining and Quarrying of Nonmetallic Minerals), nor does it include
establishments primarily engaged in packaging, repackaging and bottling purchased chemical products.

Electronic and Electrical Equipment Industry - All establishments engaged in manufacturing

machinery, apparatus, and supplies for the generation, storage, transmission, transformation, and
utilization of electrical energy. This does not include industrial machinery and equipment powered by
built-in or detachable electric motors.

Fabricated Metal Industry - All establishments engaged in fabricating ferrous and nonferrous
metal products, such as metal cans, tin ware, hand tools, cutlery, general hardware, nonelectric heating
apparatus, fabricated structural metal products, metal forgings, metal stampings, and a variety of metal
and wire products not elsewhere classified.
