MANUFACTURING

Manufacturing is
the transformation
of raw materials
into a finished
product destined for
sale in some
market.
 EXAMPLE

Whitening is a resource to get paper

from high quality in the manufacturing
process of paper.
 PLANT/FACTORY
Industrial plants are
factories where various
products are made.
They are those facilities
that have all the
necessary means to
develop a
manufacturing process.
 PLANT / FACTORY
The objective is to
create new material
wealth through the
chemical or
biological
transformation of
materials.
 EXAMPLE

In a refining factory, crude oil experiment physical

and chemical transformation processes to obtain
derivatives liquid gasolina, plastics, lubricants and
asphalts
 RAW MATERIAL
• Raw materials are
basic materials that
can be converted by
manufacture,
processing, or
combination into a new
and useful product
 EXAMPLE
“The petrochemical industry uses olefins and
aromatics obtained from natural gas and
petroleum refining products as basic raw

make a machine
or piece of
equipment.
 EXAMPLE

“The steam generator is a component of the water

 FABRICATION
Generally, fabrication is the making of a
product by combining different parts.

The manufacture of products made

exclusively from metal, such as car bodies
or Steel frames.
Example

“The construction of the methane plant started

with the fabrication of a steel column for
separation.”
 ASSEMBLY LINE
Assembling means putting together
various parts in the manuacturing
process.

Assembly is usually done in an

organized sequence of workstations
called an assembly line.
Example

“Most of the pressure pumps are assembled in
