Later comers…..
• Avoid barging inside, after 5 minutes.
• The class gets disturbed because of chair and table
movements because of movements.
• The class gets disturbed.
• No entry after 5 mins.

• No claim for late comers… We could have gone
somewhere else… or we would have taken attendence
and gone….
• No claims for late comers later than 5 min. This building

clock is binding for this purpose.
What is Manufacturing?
• Manufacturing is the use of machines, tools and labor
to produce goods for use or sale. The term may refer to
a range of human activity, from handicraft to high tech,
but is most commonly applied to industrial production, in
which raw materials are transformed into finished goods
on a large scale.
• Such finished goods may be used for manufacturing

other, more complex products, such as aircraft,
household appliances or automobiles, or sold to
wholesalers, who in turn sell them to retailers, who then
sell them to end users – the "consumers".
• Manufacturing takes turns under all types of
economic systems. In a free market economy,
manufacturing is usually directed toward the
mass production of products for sale to
consumers at a profit.
• In a collectivist economy, manufacturing is more

frequently directed by the state to supply a
centrally planned economy. In free market
economies, manufacturing occurs under some
degree of government regulation.
• Modern manufacturing includes all intermediate
processes required for the production and integration of
a product's components. Some industries, such as
semiconductor and steel manufacturers use the term
fabrication instead.
• The manufacturing sector is closely connected with

engineering and industrial design. Examples of major
manufacturers in the North America include General
Motors Corporation, General Electric, and Pfizer.
Examples in Europe include Volkswagen Group,
Siemens, and Michelin. Examples in Asia include
Toyota, Samsung, and Bridgestone.
