Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The term “manufacturing” can be defined in two ways.
- Technologically
- Economically
Manufacturing is defined technologically as the chemical and physical methods to change the shape or properties of a raw material to create required items or products. It is also stated as accumulation of several items to make desired products. Manufacturing is defined economically as the conversion of given initial materials into final product of higher value through several processing methods.
