**Choosing the Right Manufacturing Process**

In manufacturing, there are usually many ways to manufacture a part. Some methods are better than others concerning time, cost, and conformity to standards. What factors must be considered when deciding upon a manufacturing process? 

**Key Considerations**

- **Time Efficiency**: The speed at which a part can be produced.
- **Cost**: Includes materials, labor, and overhead expenses.
- **Quality Standards**: Ensuring the final product meets required specifications and regulations.

These considerations guide manufacturers in selecting the most appropriate process for their needs.
