📚 PART 1: INTRODUCTION TO MANUFACTURING

What is Manufacturing?

Definition:
Manufacturing is the production of goods in large quantities after processing raw materials into more valuable products.

Simple Understanding:
Converting raw materials → Finished products through machines and labor in factories.

Examples:

• Cotton (raw material) → Cloth (finished product) = Textile Industry
• Iron ore + Coal → Steel = Iron & Steel Industry
• Sugarcane → Sugar = Sugar Industry

Importance of Manufacturing Industries
