Article Excerpt...
A key step on a product’s long march from inventor’s brainchild to customer’s favorite gadget is manufacturing. Technically, manufacturing is the process of assembling raw materials into products on a large scale using machinery. But manufacturing is no brief stop on the journey and it must be planned for and nurtured just like any other phase in a product’s birth. An optimized manufacturing process can mean the difference between success and failure for nearly any mass-produced product. Like every step on a product’s journey, manufacturing takes input and produces output. Input comes from the designs of the product being created and output is the actual, tangible product, ready to go into distribution.
